Into the Thin
Into the Thin: A Pilgrimage Walk Across Northern Spain | Stephen Drew
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
It felt like an emotional crucifixion--a dark year in which a father figure passed, a friend and mentor suffered a terminal illness, one child entered psychosis, another child took his life, and a 14 year marriage ended. As a new life began, an ancient pilgrimage called from across an ocean. Would it hold any answers? Were there any answers to be had? Questions are always temporal, but it seems pilgrimage follows the designs of the eternal. Join in a transcendent journey of the body, heart, mind, and spirit from the French Pyrenees Mountains, crossing northern Spain for 500 miles to the city of Santiago de Compostela, and beyond to the coastal town of Finisterre. Share the experience of walking a thousand year old road, the Camino de Santiago, the Way of Saint James, and its miraculous, mysterious ways. This is a story told in the language of the soul. Suffused with resilience, it is a dialogue between humanity and its spirit. It calls.

“To simply pass it on, to share what I have found and seen.” Stephen Drew walked the Camino for over 700 km in Spain all the way to Santiago de Compostela. He walks with the reader, people he meets and loved ones he has lost. He recalls painful memories and describes the beauty of the Camino and its history. A love song to nature, kindness and the act of walking. A spiritual, uplifting, compassionate, deep and gentle book.
