Walk Fast & Move Slowly: Camino Diaries #9

[@janehills7929]

This is so sublimely Zen and the art of walking. That 🐝 while reflecting on letting go of distance counters, watching ants and getting down with the flowers …… it is all so beautiful. I’m inspired by your thinking, the beauty you create and your picnicking. That jamon bocadillo looks 😋 too. Thank you for sharing how different your Camino#3 is. It has settled me and my own expectations 🙏

[@storiestellr]

thank you so much for sharing your deep appreciation, Jane! It means a lot to me. My tiny audience seems to really enjoy my videos, and that’s all it takes. I love to read this kind of feedback, because it shows me that i’m not screaming into the void 😄 - and sometimes, the idea of keeping up the daily rhythm seems a tad daunting, but then i realize so many things need to be said, recorded, or just observed. ☀️ ☀️ 🐝

That's it. The scenery slows down with the tree and the windy-sound! 🤩 Move slowly & walk fast is it exactly. Like, all walk alone together the way. Bonne chance! 🥰

[@Julia-365]

Yes. More, please... 🙂

I hear your 'self as butterfly' analogy but I also saw it with the bee. Hovering, pausing, dropping down and then back, drawing nutrients from the depths, totally absorbed in that moment only. Then off again to the next flower stop without the need to press or force forward. Beautiful shots.

[@storiestellr]

hi Laura, you’re right - it takes someone else to see that. I mean, it’s almost obvious, and yet I don’t think I would’ve seen it. the bee’s motion is much more in the flow, than the jerky butterfly movements. especially the things it does… 🐝 🌸. the bee is a much better analogy - I’ll remember. thanks a lot for this!

This is so interesting when compared to your first two caminos. I always come back to the camino as a metaphor for life. It gives me pause and I ask, why is it that I would listen when the camino says it is time to slow down but so often in real life I am swept away and fight tooth and nail. "The distance will be covered when it is covered". I love that. It reminds me of "Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished." - Lao Tzu

[@storiestellr]

you’re so right, the Camino is a metaphor for life. And it will tell you things, but you have to be ready to listen. And when you are listening, magic things happen. Thank you very much for for comparing my quote to Lao Tzu’s, i love his teachings… and yes, the contrast between my caminos could not be greater. And yet there are always the right thing at the right time. Thank you so much for your comment!

Phenomenal. Loving the video per day. Looking forward to tomorrow's.....

[@storiestellr]

thank you so much, Blake! Now I know what it feels like to be cheered on during a daunting task - it really *does* give you a second wind. i just took a break from filming to reply 😄

[@blakesmith257]

@@storiestellr I'm sure it's hard to walk so much, film and then question if all of the effort is worthwhile. Certainly daunting. One bright side is that all of the calories are earned and quickly burned.
