On a September morning, Bishop Stephen Cottrell said mass in his
chapel, kissed his wife goodbye, stepped out of his front door and
walked two miles to the nearest station. It was the start of a 700
kilometre pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. Choosing the least
travelled route across northern Spain, he craved the solitude of
the road and felt the small vulnerabilities of not knowing what
each day would bring - where meals or a bed would be found - would
be beneficial. As a busy diocesan bishop, he looked forward not so
much to arriving at the great destination, but to what the journey
itself would reveal to him. This is a spiritual diary of that
journey, comprising reflections, prayer poems and evocative images
from the road and poetry which Stephen Cottrell has written for
many years. Arranged in four sections, each with seven paired
reflections and poems, the shape of the book echoes the rhythm of
walking and is an intimate and honest account of the profound
effect of the age-old tradition of going on pilgrimage.
