How are you?
There’s something about getting away that makes the rest of the world seem to stand still. I have been aware of the violence and pain and unrest, but if felt far removed and dreamlike.
Today I feel plunged back into reality.
Maybe the surreal is a gift. We don’t carry this world. Not by a long shot. To watch it continue to spin in all its horror and beauty and worth without our deep participation? It is humbling.
We are called, however, to engage. To pray and love and hurt and long.
Today I will join you. With a tangible awareness of my limitations.
But a deep gratitude for being a part.
