A Walk in the Dark

This morning -- I can't say "bright" and early; it was before dawn -- I drove to Tamaques Park. My sister had given me a head lamp and I wanted to try it out. There was a group of women exercising in one of the parking lots, so I wasn't alone.

The first thing I noticed were the stars. What a delight to see so many! It's been a long while since I've enjoyed such a dark sky.

I positioned my head lamp and was able to see ahead quite well. To my surprise, three other walkers wore head lamps and one woman carried a flashlight.

From what I've read, many pilgrims leave early in the morning, so that head lamp, I'm sure, will be a necessity. It's one more thing I've done to prepare for the walk.
