Today we walked 24km´s and now have pain in our feet... and a few of the dreaded blisters for some of our friends. (Thankfully not us yet!) As we walk we talk. We meet many of the same people along the way and everyday new friends too. When we share dinner in the evening or cook in the kitchen we talk! It´s amazing that with people who are complete strangers, or friends of only a few days, the conversations are real and personal. People share their journey and their pain. Many people are walking for personal or spiritual reasons. They have big decisions to make, are in a crisis or turning point and they walk with the purpose of finding answers. They talk about God and positive energy, relationships and finding yourself. There are daily opportunities for us to listen, encourage and hopefully point people towards God. It is surprising how deep the conversation quickly become. Part of the journey of walking is sharing your life, talking and listening.
Question - why is it that people share their lives openly on this journey, yet in a bus or on a plane or some other setting, we would share nothing with the stranger beside us?
