I found this online today and was moved by it.  It speaks truth.

Blessed are you, pilgrim, if you find that the Camino opens your eyes to the unseen.

Blessed are you, pilgrim, if what concerns you most is not arriving, but arriving with the others.

Blessed are you, pilgrim, when you contemplate the sights of the Camino and find them full of names and of new dawns.

Blessed are you, pilgrim, because you have discovered that the true Camino begins at its end.

Blessed are you, pilgrim, if your backpack empties of things as your heart doesn’t know where to fit so many emotions.

Blessed are you, pilgrim, if you discover that a step backwards to help another is more valuable than one hundred forward without awareness of those at your sides.

Blessed are you, pilgrim, when you have no words to give thanks for all the wonders in every nook of the Camino.

Blessed are you, pilgrim, if you search the truth and make of your Camino a life and of your life a Camino, after Him who is the Way, the Life, and the Truth.

Blessed are you, pilgrim, if in the Camino you meet yourself and make yourself a gift of time without hurry so that you may not neglect the image of your heart.

Blessed are you, pilgrim, if you find that the Camino is rich with silence, and the silence is rich with prayers, and the prayers are encounters with the Father that awaits you.
