The Way of St James (Camino De Santiago)ნიმუში

Thinking about baggage and weight, both the physical baggage we carry on pilgrimage and the metaphorical baggage that we carry through life.

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 (NLT)
