Buen Camino!從法國邊境小鎮 Saint Jean Pied de Port,到西班牙北部古城 Santiago de Compostela,歷史悠久的聖雅各之路,任何人都可以用自己的節奏來體驗。透過 Jean 的分享,欣然發現:「原來我也辦得到!」》當初吸引我來走朝聖之路的原因,僅僅是因為一幅遼闊的荒野畫面,陽光伴隨著幾公里長路,寂靜天地中只有無邊無際的麥田與山丘,以及寥寥幾個朝聖者的背影。》來到知名的 Bodegas Irache 酒莊,這裡設有兩個水龍頭,一邊打開是水,一邊打開是紅酒,免費無限暢飲。》多數庇護所沒有男女分開的浴室,會發生你洗完澡開門出來那一刻,迎面走來一位裸著上身的陌生男子,相當尷尬但大家也試著習以為常。》相較於把自己逼到奄奄一息痛苦不堪,今天才走13公里,身體不累,又有餘裕的時間可以逛逛,覺得太美好。》因為膝蓋承受不住,面臨誘人的巴士選項,而不得不經過一番天人交戰,最後該怎麼抉擇?》當體力枯竭到無法多背負一個空寶特瓶,又是什麼感覺?》在一望無際的遼闊荒野中只有你一人獨行,孤單與悲壯感相當奇妙地讓人強大。那種暫時與世隔絕的滿足和愉悅,足以讓一切肉體疼痛成為枝微末節,不值一提。也許朝聖之旅是矛盾的,因為你將一邊痛苦,一邊快樂。*註:西班牙文「Buen Camino」(音似:布恩卡米諾),朝聖路上最常說的祝福語,祝你一路平安、順利的意思。
