Home!

Yesterday around 3pm I arrived ‘home’ to Montana, greeted by big skies, fluffy clouds and snowcapped peaks.

I have already recieved many warm welcomes from friends and colleagues by email and phone and feel ever so grateful to have them all in my life again.

The drive, snaking from DC to Helena, with stops in Ohio, Missouri, Kansas, and Colorado brought much time for meditation and reflection. Hearing about the cyclone in Burma brought sadness, but also perspective: while I am suffering in my own way, I am alive, I have this day – a day swept away from so many people so suddenly. And I have a choice with what to do with it: to move forward in a life of service, building stability through community and hard work.
