Someone is waiting 
Two someones actually 
My love 
And I 
Waiting 
For my visa to come through 
So I can move to America 
And we can be together 
It's partly why I'm walking 780km across northern Spain 
"Pacing in a straight line" 
As Aaron's dad put it 
Waiting in London I was going stir crazy 
My life 
Just a game of waiting 
Filling time 

We had optimistically booked a ticket for March 
The visa didn't arrive 
The plane left without me 
And I sobbed in frustration 
London stayed miserably cold and bleak 
I worked hard 
I spent time with friends 
I tried to embrace London 
I hoped to land an acting job 
Nothing came 
I felt lonely and frustrated 
Dispirited, disinterested, and disenchanted 

I got the idea to do the Camino again 
This time solo 
This was for me 
It would fill the time 
In a positive and productive way 

I'm walking 
My feet are sore 
I'm meeting wonderful people 
I'm breathing in the Spanish landscape 
It's so beautiful 
Every step 
An affirmation that 
I'm here 
And a step closer 
To my love 

Hurry visa 
I'll wait 
I'll pace across Spain until you arrive 
And give thanks to the universe 
That I can be here 

Buen camino 
Don't stop walking 
The journey 
Is the destination 
Is life 
Is love and joy and heartbreak and beauty 
And being 

The end.

If there is something that you want to do
GO TO IT
You are not too old
It is not too late
You ARE more capable than you think
You have everything you need to start TODAY.
Stop making excuses and
Just. Go. To. It.
