The Seven Keywords of Pilgrimage – Slowness
In 2015 I flew to Lisbon to walk the Caminho Portuguese. During the flight I spotted Cape Finisterre, my final destination, down below. It took about 45 minutes to fly from that point to Lisbon. It would take me nearly 4 weeks to walk back. In the modern world, journeys that once took weeks or months by land and sea can now be accomplished in a day or so.
