I broke in my boots, invested in a sturdy backpack, assembled good gear, read my guidebook, practiced some Spanish, and so on.“Yes, yes, yes, you might be ready. But, are you also prepared?”Prepared?Are you prepared to learn from every direction?Are you prepared to open your heart and your mind to receive what Camino has in store for you?Are you prepared to walk willingly because the only way to prepare for Camino is to walk Camino - to walk willingly.  The next morning I set out on my 500 mile pilgrimage across Spain prepared to learn how to walk willingly step by step, breath by breath, heartbeat by heartbeat. Story Prompt: You might be ready for Begin Anew Year 2024; but how are you preparing yourself for what’s to come?
