Curriculum Vitae

Brief Bio:

Former street activist and newspaper columnist decides to take family and go for a five-hundred mile walk across Northern Spain. Event was inspiring enough to be repeated three years later. Days of walking provided opportunity for reflection on work in battered women's shelter. Thought about the merits of pilgrimage over incarceration and the place of mystery in this postmodern world. Hope to walk again.
