Day 3 Camino-From Roncesvalles to Akerreta (30KM)

天色未亮，但飽滿月光及滿天的星斗喚醒了辟護所內擠滿的朝聖者，有些睡眼惺鬆，準備盥洗，有些精神奕奕已經在朝聖之旅的路上。我因為時差的關係，也有信在西班牙的夜空裡面看見一輪的明月已經滿天的星斗，撒在12世紀的教堂上一片的祥和在我心裡。

天色微涼，約莫7:30出發，沿著貝殼指引的路線，遇見許多世界的朝聖旅人；走著西班牙🇪🇸田園丘陵的風景雖然下坡的碎石指路有些不穩，相較昨天的穿越Pyrennes 的高度與長度，今天的路線可以自我對話與夥伴聊天😊

今天一路上遇到許多有趣的朝聖者，其中philip, Dominic, Adam以及Lifner,是我今天路上有著有趣的對話以及分享的夥伴們，Philip跟我分享這一路上，讓他有時間，回想起在他生命中，對他友好的每一個人，可以讓他有時 是我今天路上有著有趣的對話以及分享的夥伴們，Philip跟我分享這一路上，讓他有時間，回想起在他生命中，對他友好的每一個人，可以讓他有時間大聲地，對他們說我愛你；;中餐時間，Adam是跟我分享他的Hike on the Camino 頻道，雖然他是一個軟體工程師，但他希望透過這個頻道將她在世界徒步旅行的經驗,分享給更多世界不同角落的夥伴;最後是linger今天晚上的聚餐夥伴,是個美國人,非常愛好戶外的活動,他說沒有規劃就是他的規劃，按照自己的心理地圖，走就是他自己定義最好的朝聖之路。

今天有個時刻，穿越一片的森林，遇到那一個寂靜，是一個連羽毛掉下來，都可以聽到跳躍的聲音。我第一次感覺到對於寂靜，特別是在一片森林裡，不但不感覺害怕還覺得內心產生一股過去未曾有過的平靜，可以讓我往心裡走去，穿過一片搖曳森林的光也走進來了我心裡，我就是平靜。

平靜的心，穩定的步伐，讓我感受到自然的律動，微風的吹拂，可以那麼輕柔的存在，我感覺到連一口的呼吸都像極了與大地的光合作用。

今天的我有一些啟發，這兩天在朝聖之路的旅人們，99%的人都來自西方的國家，交談之中，我學習到他們是為了生活而工作相對於在亞洲的我們比較像是為了工作而生活。這當中的生活觀各有千秋也影響了東西方經濟、社會、生活不同層面，有著不同的底蘊；對我來，說我領悟到了，40歲以前有著東方勤奮打拼的精神，在40歲以後應該可以學習西方人生活的精神，可以讓我們看見與體驗更多世界的視角與不同；朝聖之旅的路上，我每天都有機會跟不同背景以及國家的女人交談的，像極了上天的話語，透過不同的視角以及不同人事物的背景教會了我許多的事，我很感恩，我還在學習。

Day 3 Camino-Video Snapshot

Day 3 Camino- the beauty of Roncesvalles

Before dawn, the pilgrimage path is illuminated by the intertwining moonlight and stars, shining upon the weary or excited faces in the refuge. Jet lag momentarily transports me back under the Spanish night sky, where the silhouette of the 12th-century church stands solemnly in the sacred light.

At 7:30 in the morning, we embarked on our journey guided by the shell markers. The picturesque landscape of the Spanish countryside is enchanting; although there are some rocky sections, today feels much easier and more enjoyable compared to the hardships of crossing the Pyrenees yesterday, allowing for easy conversation with fellow companions.

Along the way, I met many interesting pilgrims. Philip shared his insights: this journey has given him the time to reflect on every kind person he has encountered in life, sincerely expressing his love to them. At lunchtime, software engineer Adam introduced me to his YouTube channel, "Hike on the Camino," hoping to inspire more people to embark on their own journeys of exploration through his hiking experiences. During dinner, I had a delightful conversation with Lifner, an outdoor enthusiast from America. He is carefree and believes that "having no plan is the best plan," following his inner guidance, which defines his own pilgrimage.

As I walked through a tranquil forest, the silence was so profound that I felt I could hear a feather fall. This stillness did not frighten me; instead, it filled my heart with an unprecedented peace, as if I could hear my inner voice. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled spots of light that illuminated my soul.

With a calm mind, I felt the rhythm of nature, the gentle breeze, and each breath seemed to engage in photosynthesis with the earth.

These two days of journey have inspired me. Most of the pilgrims I encountered came from Western countries, and my conversations with them made me realize that their philosophy of "working to live" contrasts sharply with our Asian approach of "living to work." The differing values of East and West have created unique cultural foundations, deeply influencing various aspects of economics, society, and life. Perhaps before the age of 40, I can uphold the diligent spirit of the East, and after 40, I can try to learn from the West’s enjoyment of life, broadening my perspective to see and experience the world. On this pilgrimage, I have the opportunity to converse with people from different countries and backgrounds every day, as if it were a divine arrangement, allowing me to view the world from various perspectives and learn many life lessons.

Buen Camino!
