Even though this small sacred monument is not located on the famous Way of St. James through northern Spain, given the wayside cross/crucifix standing here, perhaps some thoughts from Hape Kerkeling might be helpful as inspiration. The entertainer, famous primarily in Germany, walked the Camino Frances in 2001 and kept a diary, which was published under the title "Ich bin dann mal weg" (I'm off then). He describes his personal encounter with God on the journey as follows: "Yesterday something struck a huge gong within me. And the sound will reverberate. Sooner or later, this path shakes everyone to their core. I know the sound will slowly fade, but if I prick up my ears, I will be able to perceive this echo for a very long time."
