This sentence made me think of people who travel through The Way of St. James (El Camino de Santiago). This is a well known route that people walk along in order to meditate and re-evaluate their lives. The Way of St James has existed for over a thousand years and it was one of the most important pilgrimages during medieval times. The route was named one of UNESCO’s World Heritage sites.
The people who decide to “wander” along those routes for days, sometimes months, are not necessarily lost. They are people who may have everything going for them; they may have a nice house, a great family and good health. Nevertheless they are still looking for something else - for a spiritual balance and the opportunity to learn a bit more about themselves.
They might be wandering through The Way of St. James, but they sure know where they are going.
