Was thinking about how last year I skipped 221b con bc it was the weekend I left for my Camino

And immediately wished I gave a shit about BBC Sherlock anymore bc I can totally imagine an au fic in which they meet on the (current, modern) Camino

John’s there to have something to do/maybe heal his soul a little after coming home from war and Sherlock is there bc Mycroft offered it as an alternative to rehab. (Which are both reasons real people have done it)

I just imagine Sherlock deducing things about people in albergues (to both comical and unfortunate results) and John being fascinated by him and writing about him on his Camino blog lol

I’d definitely need to know more Spanish and history to make up a mystery tho

Hello again, Loni.

Well, we're here again.

Back to tumblr. Back to writing.

A lot has changed since I used this site frequently about a decade ago: I use capital letters now, I'm still married, I have three kids, a company, both my parents have died and I live in Denmark.

Instead of rehashing the last ten years, I'd rather explain why I'm back.

Last March, I stopped drinking alcohol.

I'll probably write more about that in the future but for now the only relevance is that becoming sober has given way to a lot of "ah-ha" moments... one of them being that I really don't want to be on social media anymore.

When I think about how I've leveraged Instagram and Facebook these past years, it's been a space to reflect and share moments of life that I find interesting or note-worthy. I like to leverage SoMe to reflect on these moments.

But I don't really like being tied to it.

Or feeling like I live moments through the intent to post about them.

And I'm tired of automatically checking SoMe... for what?

I still love reflecting. And sharing. And writing.

So, here I am. A tumblr bitch once again. I think writing a blog again might satisfy my urge reflect, share and write.

I'll probably be changing some of the formatting, the tag-line. "Navigating the 30's" doesn't apply to me in two weeks, so there's some necessary updating that clearly cannot be postponed for long.

Does anyone even use tumblr anymore? Well, I guess if you're reading this, you do.

And apparently now I do, too.

This 200 page experiential photo book walks with you through 58 days, one and a half million steps from Lisbon, Portugal to Santiago de Compostela, Spain, through farmland, olive groves, mountains, towns, monasteries, and train tracks.

The route I walked: the Caminho Português from Lisbon to Porto, the Senda Litoral Coastal Route, crossing to the Central Route from Caminha to Valença, the Central Route, the Variante Espiritual, and ending in Santiago de Compostela.

Cathedral of Santo Domingo de la Calzada, Spain (No. 2)

The building that is now contemplated as the co-cathedral of Santo Domingo de la Calzada is, really, an amalgam of different styles ranging from the Romanesque of its head to the baroque of its genuine free-standing bell tower, passing through its body of naves, which can be classified as fully Gothic. To all this we must add the different reforms and extensions that it suffered during the Modern Age as a result of restorations, collapses or, simply, by the changes that each bishop was making to adapt the see to the tastes and fashions of each historical moment.​

Several modifications were made to the original plant, adding:

in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries: the naves, defenses and portico of the west façade;

in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries: the chapels of the apse, of the Immaculate and the two in sections 2 and 3 of the south façade;

in the seventeenth century the baptistery of the section of the feet;

in the eighteenth century, the south portal;

the tower, original of the twelfth century, was rebuilt in the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries; the latter in the current location.

Another random Camino story!

The day I left Burgos I walked with a younger Italian guy named Dario, and he kept apologizing for his bad English. And he sometimes searched for a word or mixed up his grammar but like, I am nowhere near that good in any non-English language.

Anyway we’d seen each other a bunch of times before that day, which is really common, and he knew I was gay. And he had some great questions about the definition of “queer,” and he said he wasn’t sure what his orientation was, just that he wasn’t entirely straight, and I said then yeah, he can call himself queer if he wants to!

And the day you leave Burgos, you start walking on the Meseta, which are the high plains of northern Spain, and in those first few days you see hundreds of windmills!

Dario said they reminded him of sunflowers. “They’re windflowers!” I said. I later made this joke post to a fb group for Americans on the Camino:

We both realized that the only thing we knew about Don Quixote was that he fought windmills, and kept waving our trekking poles in the general direction of the windmills.

BUT ALSO I am never entirely sure which American media people are familiar with, right?

And at one point we were walking next to a small ridge, and a windmill on the other side wasn’t moving, and the way a singular blade stuck up from behind the ridge made me think of a shark fin, and so I started singing that repeating cello tune from Jaws.

And Dario had no idea what I was singing. I had to explain the plot of Jaws.

Phases.

I've decided that for my 40th birthday, I will give myself the gift of time.

Time to be more present.

Time to be less on automatic.

Time to be more intentional.

Time to be less passive.

Basically, I'm going to get my ass of social media. Probably not forever. And probably not completely.

Just putting some boundaries up.

A big reason for starting up the old blog again (yes, this one) is to give myself a place to reflect // document life without the need for external validation.

I've been looking over this Tumblr and can see a few very specific phases of my life have been publicly shared on this platform:

-Late 20's Loni. Fresh out of a break-up. Living alone. Trying to navigate dating and adulting and lots of emotions.

-Camino Loni. Photos and thoughts from a life-changing 800 km walk.

-In-Love Loni. The months and year after meeting Kjartan, so (so) in love and ready for adventure.

-Guest-appearance Loni. I've made only a few posts in the last nine years including one about motherhood and raising babies in Denmark and another reflecting on grappling with being an American in a country that does not acknowledge racism.

What's been missed?

-Mom-of-3 Loni.

-Donor conceived Loni.

-Found my biological father Loni.

-Adult orphan Loni.

-Grieving Loni.

-Loni in Denmark.

-Sober Loni.

I'm excited to give more of a place to these versions of me... they've been a long time in the making and although I live them each day, they've also been dormant in reflection, intention and presence.

I hope this gift to myself can change that.
