‘Everything that has a beginning has an ending. Make your peace with that and all will be well.’
– Jack Kornfield, Buddha’s Little Instruction Book
I pass the final kilometre post. It reads ‘0km’. And ahead, I see the Finisterre lighthouse tower on its rocky outcrop over the Atlantic Ocean. I take my last few steps towards the water’s edge and a part of me doesn't want to accept that this is ’The End’. I sit down and stare at the ocean waves pondering, "And now what?"
Endings bring about a ‘finality’. But to rush to a new beginning, which we often do because it’s far more comfortable than the ending, we often miss the uniqueness of this moment and the ‘gifts’ that are available if we live the full experience of the ending.
Endings can come in many different forms with drama, romance, mystery, tragedy and which can bring grief, fear, uncertainty, or resolution, hope, joy, and new purpose.
How did you experience your Camino 'ending'?
Did you sit for a while to allow yourself to digest the experience and the varied emotions?
Did you step right into a new beginning?
Did you feel in limbo?
In hindsight, is there anything you'd do differently?
Let's explore the importance of acknowledging 'endings' and how the Camino journey, as a metaphor for our life journey, can apprentice us to respond to the 'endings' in our lives.
