WALKING

I read today on the blog BUSCANDO Waslala , which is the blog of a couple of tramps who circled by many countries and currently runs some countries of Latin America in auto stop, walk or very rudimentary means, as in The Camino de Santiago, the most rewarding experience for them not to reach the goal, it is highly desired, but the very way they do, with all that entails.

I have not ever done the Camino de Santiago but it's something I'd like to do someday and do not discard step. I've read various experiences and almost all agree that brand is an experience that somehow the person: sometimes it is simply a spiritual and other human experience and effort to overcome. Anyway, it may be true that the phrase is the most important road itself. In any way that a person does (and life itself could be the paradigm) is a bit of everything: good and bad, positive and interesting people and negative and toxic people, remember now what life and others we would like to forget forever ... But it is interesting to walk, go by, take care of this, assess it and not obsess too much about the future.

Catalans living moments. History. Lusionants illegal, but also a bit disturbing because things do not seem to be too clear and the road is very difficult. And more to be made! But we should not forget that the most important is the road itself, going by the steps we have to do. No illusions but shrugged us.

We Stand

This is a screenshot of what I did today panel of my blog. These, then, are the curious details of my blog today:

999 Blog entry

888 Comments

A lot of issues more or less well written and a lot of hours spent on the blog.

WALKING wants to be a blog without pretensions of any kind. Blog is a humble, simple, open to any topic, and therefore, perhaps a little superficial. I'm no expert in any subject, do not know much of anything, and very little of many things. So there come to find much that you will not find anything much worth it.

The St. Bartholomew's Day, so on 24 August 2008, began e-writing my first post that read:

Hello everyone.

I like walking. I'm not a big walker, but I like to walk. I think it is the best way to see and observe things, people, landscapes. And in the meantime, you think ... The blog would like me to walk through life, observing it, and occasionally make a comment at all pretentious. Just saying what I think. And if someone wants to make a comment, it will be well come.

It means that three years ago I have the blog. She had just arrived from Delta del Ebro where he spent a few days holiday. had been reading blogs and I was a bit stuck. During that time I decided to one worker, which I did as soon as I got home, very excited, eager, but also with total ignorance of the medium.

And here I am! Tomorrow, God willing, I will write the post number 1000. Nor will not be any special post I said nothing fancy, but it made ​​me feel funny doing it. The round numbers are always something special. Or maybe they do not have anything special, but we are that we give them meaning. Maybe it's the illusion that makes us ...

I do not regret one iota of having begun, nor have I heard-but-tempted to leave it. Quite the contrary: I have spent many good times and I think it helped me to therapy. As I did not expect anything, not a thing I felt disappointed. I would have liked to have had more comments in order to discuss opinions and views. It's true that sometimes I've had some that has not been made public because I got via mail. But I'm glad I received the thank you and all that, either regular or occasional, have entered and continue to enter. Some know that I follow with great fidelity because you told me personally and gave me encouraged to continue on my part not understand what exactly is there to keep the gap. Equals. Sometimes we do things without much reason and without explicit reasons.

So, while I will continue to feel like you and I also read while soaking. Neither I nor you, we feel obligated to anything.

Thank you.

Plana d'Urgell from Pillar of Beacon, near Agramunt.

William Viladot l'escriptor-of-Agramunt ( Agramunt , Urgell 1922 - Barcelona 1999 ) ends his book "People and wind" recalling the famous song by Jacques Brel "The clear country." It does after doing the tourist lands for France and Britain and even taking to the pupils of the eyes clippings, green landscapes, sunsets luminosities, morning fog and fresh memories of a happy holiday.

Come home and open your eyes again, slowly, to see how they would wake up before the new Garrics, to dust, to lizards ever. This reopen your eyes is what we all do, occasionally, to rediscover our country, our things, our people, our way of being and doing, our roots .. For feet on the ground and thus looked up into the sky. We so overwhelmed that only half opened his eyes a little to see the immediacy of our daily problems and our concerns and not raise his head to look further. We lost a good bit of the spirit of contemplation, so necessary in anyone who wants to have. What makes us recognize ourselves, and makes us expect us to remain.

Now I'll try to make this holiday start daily exercise and legs look. Walk and look. Walk and contemplate. Walking and looking inwards and outwards. Badoquejar, they say here in Pla d'Urgell. Not to say that some days it badoquegi in distant lands, but most of the time I'll do it here, "the country-my-clear plan of Urgell.

William Marcos explains that when he came back to Agramunt after his vacation, he felt a huge desire to start running and not stop until the Pillar of Beacon. It was a nap. And it was then that savor, from that wonderful vantage point unmistakably Arabic name, all Plana d'Urgell. And there it was able to savor again the roots, returning to its roots as always. I explained that extend your arms to get the force on the body of the sun scorched thick, and on the face of the outbreak llampurnant embarked on a dazzling afternoon. It was then that he looked like for the first time, the miracle of light blazing southern gold, sienna, ocher, yellow, toast, white, purple ... the sun, the corn, the hills, the banks, the fallow of straw, landscape near and remote ...

I explained that tasted once more the flavor of thyme and stared at the blue sky loudly and said:

-What beautiful country, that country so clear, my!

If you enjoy this book by William Marcos, to know a little better these western lands, its people and to enjoy its rich prose and careful I recommend this book: "THE PEOPLE AND THE WIND"-Select Publishing - Victor Catalan Award 1966

The trail can be done in many ways and can use various means to do it. This blog is titled "WALK" because I find that walking slowly is the best way to go through life. Sometimes we can not afford to have fast and we have to use resources faster. But walking as best as we see around us, the land that crush, how we ourselves, how we relate to our environment, what we do and that we do. It's like we find in our own way in life. Life is a journey and we're doing that is good, from time to time, we stop for a while to see where we came from, where we are going and whether we are doing the right path and the right pace.

Sometimes the road may seem sterile or become troublesome. Sometimes we find it enjoyable. Everything depends on the place where we have to go, because it is the same walk through valleys deep and dark or sunny mountain meadows. Life will bring moments usually every way and gives us the tools to be able to travel without die in the attempt. We can not stop too happy at times and we can not do it in sad times. The way life should continue to follow.

Talking about how men go through life and how we live, I remember reading once that the words of Luther said, "Things do not happen according to your reason, but above your right." No always control life and there is always the sense that we would want to find him. Whether the clarity of the day or night in the dark, in poverty or in wealth, the bread is the food which is not We can deny our pilgrimage sustains, restores, strengthens and nourishes. This bread to strengthen our spirit is offered in several ways: with carefully chosen words from other travelers of life joining us every day in camí.Se 'offers us this bread in the form of friends who encourage us and encourage us. shaped is offered opportunities to grow and improve.'s life almost always gives us something out because I think that what " when God closes a door, always opens a window. "

All this is the result of careful consideration all the gifts I received excellent these days in the form of words, calling, mailing, gestures or hugs. Everything was as small crumbs all-together-have the bread that feeds the pilgrim walking and wants and continue walking through the vida.Moltes all.

My blog is called "WALK" because, as I explained in some other time, walking slowly is best seen as things, people, situations and, in a word, life itself.

It's going to walk, going slowly, when we discover we discover each other and ourselves. It is when we take the time to look at everything with new eyes, with new eyes. Discover how the city is walking the streets, buildings, people in their place, the people who work and complexity that is the life of a developed society.

It's going to walk when we can think better when our senses are aroused when everything comes best through our inner senses which include the outside world, and we offer you the gift in the form of new stimuli and new possibilities ..

We can go walking alone or accompanied. Every situation has its pros and cons. Solitude and silence that gives us the go we can go even interior roads to meet ourselves, something difficult to achieve because knowing yourself is one of the most difficult jobs that exist, as the Greeks said.

Walking together or accompanying us to discover each other, talk us, makes us see new things and new points of view that may not had ever seen. Compare us and makes us have to interact. Weigh us and makes us appreciate the company and relativize our strength and our capabilities. We will see the differences that enrich the perspectives that make us grow and affections that ennoble. We will see that we may have to go more quickly or more slowly. Maybe we should wait and maybe we will have to scramble in order to be a good travel companion.

Anyway, walking means that we can still move, we are still alive and we still have many things to do.

We Stand

I Espinàs is a character that has always fascinated. I've always admired and I read, valuing it as a great writer. If we were a normal country, the Espinas be after a lot of everything, with prizes dojo.Fa that I read many years. But like most of the books that he is traveling on foot. My blog is called WALK, partly in tribute to him. I think the 20 books he has written travel on foot, at least 15 have read .... I do not remember well, but I have always enjoyed reading it. It is for those who like prose to me, seemingly simple, with a plain and colloquial, descriptive details small yet profound. Speaking of anonymous people, things vulgar feelings. But does simply that's what these books apart costa.En the person is the Espinàs: simple, human, quiet, versatile, ironic, thoughtful, intelligent ... Now just published: 'In Murcia foot ' ( Joseph M. Espinas Ed. Campana ) its twentieth trip to the south of Valencia. Has already served 82 years and still continues writing and walking as gods. The work is part of a series that began publishing over fifty years and Joseph M. Espinàs could not have picked a worse place to draw the attention of readers, "said the editor of the Bell, Elizabeth Martin: 'In books Espinàs no plot hook.' So how is it that has so successfully? Martin himself says: "The grace of the Espinas is music that gets behind the words and literary matter what becomes apparent is vulgar. '

Here all journeys 'WALK'. I invite you to read some, but if you have not already and see what stuck.

My blog is titled WALK to walk, walk, up and down mountains and move everything you think it is something very good. Now it is one thing to preach what to do and do it again. I must confess that I walk every day and just costs me more.

But surely, the ride is very convenient exercise that contributes much to the health of the body and makes the mind is better prepared to activities pertaining to it, it becomes distracting if done together and add discussions welcome.

I often go out for a walk through the town with the guys in our shop. We move, do some exercise and also take the opportunity to buy something we may require. Take this opportunity to discuss some issues, particularly road safety, and we try to better understand our people. We try, when we walk, it hinders the movement of other pedestrians, we try to walk politely, calmly, more or less aligned so as not to give elbowing each other and so we can talk without had to call.

It seems like all this does not matter and maybe you'll say, "and what this tells us!" .... Yes it is important for our kids because this is a form of socialization so important and necessary and sometimes not done well enough for families.

When I walk I try to observe. Above all, I see the faces of people and their reactions. It is very interesting and sometimes funny. Also sometimes it is annoying. Do you greet people with a lot of sympathy for our guys can imagine how often greet everyone know it or not .... Sometimes voices and faces to prevent forced greetings and little frank. And, finally, there is one rude you go over, if we neglect and do not consider that there is before him mentally disabled ...

One of the benefits of walking. And ensuring the correct time, I intend to walk a little more firmly.

The places we can bring in several ways. Not the same visit a country as a tourist agency, where you just walk to certain places, usually the most-beautiful, fast running and some that go on your own, take the time you need , live with the locals and sharing part of your life and, if possible, making long conversations with Maria Espinas ells.Josep should know that. His travel books are a delight to walk (plus he's a great writer) just for that: depict small details, explain conversations, they look at the landscape that are discovered only if one was to walk calmly, with eyes of pedestrians or pelegrí.Diuen that tourists and pilgrims thanked required. The tourist sees only what he sees through the viewfinder of his camera. Only last voice you teach and never discover what hides. The pilgrimage is traditionally a religious ceremony, but both history and today, the cultural component is remarkably present. However, if we believe what they say its players, the same pilgrims, seeking spirituality and are crucial encounter with oneself. The pilgrim is not a walk, a traveler and, of course, a tourist who opts for a chance to spend a couple of days. Therefore, the expected behavior is as far as possible to a customer requests a duty of care solidarity, generosity and self-improvement are core values ​​in harmony with art, nature and people get to know. The pilgrims walking or should understand that your use of all that is, from hostels to nature, Romanesque churches and fountains, is a loan, and so must leave it as or better as it trobar.I also need to go through life with eyes walking.
