    Your poem is such a gift to you and to all of us following your newest journey. « Newest » may not be the best word, as you have been following Jesus for a long time. But certainly walking where He walked, inhaling heat and market spices; touching the Sea of G, where weather changes in an instant; sitting where His voice would have risen to you and those around you on the hillside- all this and so much more will flood into your waiting, open heart. Today, though, it’s still about travel and arriving and getting settled. Sleep well in the ancient landscape. (LT)
