The Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela is a centuries old trek across northern Spain done by following "The Camino de Santiago", the road to Santiago. Before February of 2001 I had not heard of "The Camino" nor of the Pilgrimage. By the end of October of that year I was in Santiago after completing the walk myself. I thought that when I reached Santiago my journey was over but I see now that my journey started way before I got to Spain and still has not ended.

Doors
It's a dangerous business going out your front door.
-J. R. R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.
-Dr. Laura Schlessinger
When you close your doors, and make darkness within, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not alone; nay, God is within, and your genius is within. And what need have they of light to see what you are doing?
-Epictetus
Teachers open the door. You enter by yourself.
-Chinese Proverb
When you follow your bliss... doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors; and where there wouldn't be a door for anyone else.
-Joseph Campbell
There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.
-Graham Greene
When our eyes see our hands doing the work of our hearts, the circle of Creation is completed inside us, the doors of our souls fly open, and love steps forth to heal everything in sight.
-Michael Bridge
Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation leans on the doorbell.
-Unknown
The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live.
-Flora Whittemore
In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself.
-J. Krishnamarti
If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thru' chinks of his cavern.
-Blake
When in doubt, have two guys come through the door with guns.
-Raymond Chandler
You can do anything you think you can. This knowledge is literally the gift of the gods, for through it you can solve every human problem. It should make of you an incurable optimist. It is the open door.
-Robert Collier
