Journey, Again

Not all journeys are pilgrimages of progressive steps towards the unknown and revealing an inner wisdom. Some journeys are steps, progressive or not, to find what is know and recreate the lost. A serious computer crash that wipes clean documents that were made with our thoughts and hands, that deletes events and appointments that represent anticipated relationships, that cancels contacts that hold a history of our personal and professional interconnectedness, creates a journey to recapture what is known and recreate the lost. It is a journey of grief of what is gone. It is journey of grief for what was planned and it now replaced with efforts to regather. It is a journey of grief for good intentions and commitment to one's work. The promise is that God is present in every journey. What springs forth from our efforts now will carry that blessing and the mark of Christ's life within us. What we recreate will show forth what God intends for us now.
