simplicity

One of the three treasures of the Tao is simplicity . . . the Camino is a great practice for that . . . the Albergues provide basic, warm, comfortable shelter . . . not austere, nor luxury . . . the pack has to be simple too . . . you have to carry it (though I am told onward baggage is possible!) . . . dress is layers . . . put them on before getting cold or wet, take them off before you sweat . . . walking is simple too . . . one step after another . . . simple food, water to drink . . . life on the Camino or not need not be complicated . . . and the more you have to carry: worries, possessions . . . the harder it gets . . . enough is enough . . . which is another chapter . . .
