Day 5) Puente La Reina – Estella 21,6 km

Windy and cold morning, sun occasionally shows up from the clouds and disappears right away, but my body slowly adjusts to early wake-ups and walking over 20 km a day...

As if sentimentality over rationality is weakness of a material body nervous system, the unconscious-sensation over self-awareness is weakness and darkness of a spiritual body awareness.

I used to think polarity was a hitch, but awareness is the field and every field needs polar opposites to exist. Problem is in disharmony between emotion and sensation, light and darkness within.

Essence and awareness are eternal, but eternity does not imply self-awareness, conscious action, righteousness, the essence is eternal but needs strong awareness.

Maybe we are like cosmic children growing stronger to stabilize and control unconscious essence as if child gains knowledge of its own body. Maybe we have to evolve and become sentient cosmic citizens, maybe we are here to learn love and responsibility.

Arrived in Estella at the end of a day, with Romanesque architecture and beautiful churches, this is what I call the pleasure of trekking...
