Along The Camino/At Basecamp

These stories are my response to walking the Camino de Santiago. It is not a practical guide, nor a series of interviews, nor a memoir. It is story, inspired by my real experiences and infused occasionally with a layer of holy imagination. I know it is worthwhile because I am not just hoping to tell my own story. I am hoping to tell more of the whole story, glimpse more of the whole truth. So, welcome pilgrim! Because I’m a firm believer that whether or not you have already walked or are interested in walking the Camino de Santiago, or a pilgrimage at all, guess what? …YOU'RE ALREADY ON ONE! Helpful hint: If you love descriptive or philosophical ponderings..stick to the even-numbered episodes. If you appreciate imagination, faith and asking what could be...go for the odds. But I hope you can listen to all.
Sincerely-Hollee Brock

A word about me in the words of Jehanne de Quillan (in the introduction to The Gospel of the Beloved Companion)- "...being neither an academic nor a scholar by profession, I realized that rather than a hindrance, the slack granted me a freedom that would likely be unavailable to those closely guarding the reputations within their chosen field. Not having a reputation to lose means that one can proceed with one’s work without concern for the ripples that it might generate among those who oppose one’s conclusions.”

Imagination might seem like a dangerous thing to do, but perhaps, it's more dangerous not to.
As I walked, I began to ask for holy imagination. I had no idea how meaningful it would be.
“I had to walk enough miles to get here. To stop fighting, stop resisting this process of my brain becoming quiet and still because at first, it felt like I was losing something. It took this pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago to usher me into this strange new category of being where rather than empty… I was more like those fields lying fallow, waiting … That’s when, sure enough, here came my neighbor, who sat down with me and introduced herself as holy imagination and we began to tell some of the best stories. And here’s where the magic began.”
