Sabbatical Tales

    We spent the afternoon with a dear friend last week. She lovingly offered a blessing upon us from O'Donohue's book, To Bless the Space Between Us . We'd like to share a few stanzas.We know some of you are traveling new roads of various kinds and we pray for you.   Maybe you're in need of these good words, too.   FOR THE TRAVELER "Every time you leave home,  Another road takes you  Into a world you were never in.  New strangers on other paths await.  New places that have never seen you  Will startle a little at your entry...  ...May you travel in an awakened way,  Gathered wisely into your inner ground;  That you may not waste the invitations  Which wait along the way to transform you.  May you travel safely, arrive refreshed,  And live your time away to its fullest;  Return home more enriched, and free  To balance the gift of days which call you."

  Beloveds,   We're more ready than ever to start this Sabbatical journey. We invite you join us as we try to capture occasional stories of our time with people we cherish and those we don't yet know. We'll visit places, some that we've visited years ago and others that are new to us. We hope to keep updating as we go, but won't promise anything grand, since we want to enter this time with a spirit of joy and expectation, with hands wide open to receive rather than produce.   Pax Christi!
