The joy of couplets. American pilgrims, Amy Horton and Ben Voss talk pilgrimage, poetry and ...poultry.

I’m having a few weeks off to re-boot before a very busy 2022. Amy Horton is one of the co-ordinators of the St Louis chapter of the American Pilgrims on the Camino - we met in Nevada in March 2020 - days before Covid hit. Amy and her husband Ben are the quintessential thinkers. They felt the lure of the Camino and it now plays a big part in their lives....and the lives of their chickens.

Canadian pilgrim and hospitalera Angela Hemming walked the Camino seeking clarity. IT found her!!!

I met Angela Hemming when she was working as a hospitalera in Rabanal del Camino in 2016. We sang songs in the reading room ....and pilgrims from all over the world came to sing along. Such joy can be found on the Camino....and such clarity. It was clarity Angela sought when she walked the Camino a few years before I met her. It provided answers to questions, suggestions to clues, and energy to thoughts. For Angela, the Camino was a new beginning.
