to everything there is a season

It's been great, so far, this transatlantic trip. Going round Germany has been a good experience -- safe, not too unexpected, yet with enough nice surprises to make this a journey worth remembering.

Come to think of it, perhaps this is just exactly what i needed. Somewhere quiet and relatively predictable, where i can recover from the upheaval of the last year. Yet with enough interesting stuff to create new memories worth keeping.

Now, though, i just can't wait to make it over the Pond and spend some time in retreat, thinking about where i've been and where to next, taking time to pray, to be with God. And then, to have a whole month out in the middle of nowhere, with a writing studio in front of a river, writing.
