May you be safe

"Even though I often give in to the

many fears and warnings of my world,

I still believe deeply that our few years

on this earth are part of a much larger event

that stretches out far beyond

the boundaries of our birth and death.

I think of it as a mission in time,

a mission that is very exhilarating

and even exciting, mostly because

the One who sent me on the mission

is waiting for me to come home

and tell the story of what I have learned."

~ Henri Nouwen

Wishing safe travels to my friends who travel by road, air, sea, sled, and rail this weekend.
