My dear Friends
Last week I saw a fascinating programme about a balloon journey over Africa. That's what I want to be when I go to Canada this summer-up, up and away.
Travelling gives us a new perspective on life, especailly when you cross the Atlantic.I have done it before at important crossroads in my life and I feel this year is a year of new beginnings. I am going to friends and a place where I was touched by the Divine in a new way: as someone said Canada is my spiritual home.
We all have places which touch us deeply and usually they are connected to the people who live or come from there. I am going to reconnect with a Canadian friend I first met in England almost twenty five years ago. Had it not been for him opening his home in Canada as a place where I could reflect on all the momentous things that happened to me, I might not have come into the Church. His home and its surroundings were the jumping off point for an experience which will remain with me for the rest of my life. And beyond.
There are new friends out there too. And a lovely cousin who plays the harp. I look forward to all the coffee shops we will haunt together. I will raise my glass to all of you.
