The purpose is to be a reminder and an invitation to the wonderful experience to be had, walking the Camino de Santiago. My Camino was the "Camino Frances" The first poem "All souls" remained un-named for most of the camino, until a dear friend and walking partner delivered the name to me. As you will note it was dedicated to a very special person, a complete stranger, who showed me beyond all doubt, what the power of kindness was for.

LOVE IS THE GOAL !
Words are so utterly pointless,
But yet we try, that they do,
The work of conveying meaning,
Of what we sould surely do.
And yet if they were true,
No misconception would they allow.
But we see so very clearly,
They lead to pain and sorrow, strangely somehow.
Is there not a more direct advantage,
To pursuing an active life re-course ?
Rather than pontificating in high faluted garble,
Hoping that we may get all the applause.
Doing, is by far the more wholesome tool,
To bring into this world our hope,
Instead of preaching to hungry mouths,
Whilst millions of little children barely cope.
Let us not ignore the common sense,
To share our wealth and health with all,
Giving freely instead of begrudgingly
That, which nature grows ripe and tall.
To end, and rid this world of shame,
For ourselves, who's greed knows no bounds.
By giving away, more of loves rich spoils,
And remembering, what goes around comes around.
It is not money that is the route of all evil.
It is the greed we express to have it all.
Can we not open up our hearts to share it all?
Maktub !
