Barack on The Camino

Listen to Don Quixote: “Don’t! Pity Your Self! The wounds of the vanity, the many offenses our egos have to endure, being housed in bodies that age, and hearts that grow tired are better accepted with a tolerant smile – like this!”
Listen to Lord Byron: “There is time for departure even when there’s no certain place to go! … I’m going to look for one, now. I’m sailing to Athens. At least I can look up at the Acropolis, … and possibly, yes, still possibly, the old pure music will come to me again. Make Voyages! Attempt them! There’s nothing else…”
Listen to Barack Obama: ". . . when we have faced down impossible odds, when we've been told we're not ready or that we shouldn't try or that we can't, generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.”
