My GPS broke down. I couldn’t get it working when we started
walking this morning. Somebody said: “Don’t worry, you will have plenty of time
in the coming weeks to make this walk again and catch it on your GPS.” But we
are in the middle of the Pilgrim Trail. It felt somewhat like somebody telling
you after a difficult year: “Don’t worry, you will get another chance to do this one again and enjoy it.” I didn’t worry, I just put the device in my backpack and decided to
put the camera in there too and enjoy the walk without gathering digital
traces. I even refrained from gathering y-shaped branches. But yesterday’s
question was still in my mind. Why are we here?
It was a beautiful route. I was slow and silent.
To walk and to smile.
