This morning I watched Oprah's interview with Diana Nyad on Super Soul Sunday. Diana had three things to tell the world after her record-breaking swim from Cuba to Florida: (paraphrased)
Never give up.
You are never too old to chase your dream.
Swimming is not a solitary sport.
And the mantra she lived by throughout the swim was:
"Find a way."
As I contemplated her words, I thought of my up-coming 100-mile pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago. Oh, my! Her experiences, her courage, her steadfastness in the face of so many obstacles sets such an example for me, not only on the Camino itself, but in all these days of training.
