Spring is Springing!

Keep your eyes open and be sure to take the long way home. Beauty is all around us if we have the eyes to see and the time to kill. And kill time we must in this rat race! Blessed are the slow in traffic for they shall inherit the landscapes! (OK, maybe as a passenger. We don't want any "gaper delays.")

Too funny, Bill - and thanks for the reminder about spring. :)

I remember the radio announcer often mentioning sun glare on the conshohocken curve - but there isn't much too see there - or is there? Beauty will reveal itself in the most unexpected of places, too!

Oh yes, that's a nasty spot there when you're heading west.... PS - You and David are in NC right? I'm heading down for a talk in May for a friend of mine, Fr. Matt Kauth. Would you happen to know him?

There are landscapes where I am too, to be sure. Bill, I am on the other side of the world, in the Pacific. I step out onto the weather deck of my ship and I see the port of Hong Kong. My, how far my journey has taken me. I pray you are well. Pray for me, that I return soon, and safely. What a long, long way from Lorien, and the eaves of the mallorn trees.

Great to know you are safe and well, Jim! I can't imagine the adventures you're experiencing. And what a gift that you can send a message at all. I think you should start a blog of your own from the high seas! Must be some spectacular sights. Hope to chat soon, be safe, we're praying for you!

Namarie!

If only you could remember the line about the blessed slow when you're with your poor Da. No PA stops up here! And there's plenty of scenery to take in and drink down, refreshing the soul.ayejbariami
