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

Windy and the 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 the weakness of a physical body nervous system, the unconscious-sensation over self-awareness is the weakness and darkness of a spiritual body.

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 in awareness to harmonize essence as if a child gains knowledge of its own body. Maybe we have to evolve and become cosmic citizens, maybe we are here to learn love and responsibility.

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