White flowers in bloom,
Brighter than I remember.
Pilgrimage unfolds.

Plane ticket in hand,
Backpack, sun hat, walking poles.

To Santiago.
Left foot in front of right foot.
Small steps, mindful steps.

Water over rocks.
Trees reflected in river.
Pilgrims cross foot bridge.

Cross-legged, deep breaths,
Reflect on sacred journey.
End is beginning.
