Day 22: Santiago and Characters on the Way

I give thanks for the many lives intersecting mine on this journey. I’m writing as I sit in the cathedral surrounded by characters I don’t know, yet who have participated in the great stream of Perigrinos throughout the centuries. May writing their names be a act of a prayerful blessing for them.
