Everybody is Going Somewhere

I read these words recently "everybody is going somewhere" and it was good food for thought.  Indeed we are all going somewhere.  Sometimes we have no idea where we are going, but we are faithfully putting one foot in front of the other.  Sometimes we have a destination in mind and we have no idea of what route to take but we gather our courage and head out.

I am going somewhere.  I am going on sabbatical.  I will be fulfilling a dream of traveling around the UK experiencing the places where my church was formed.  I'll be immersed in academia in Cambridge and Oxford.  I'll walk on holy ground in Iona and Lindisfarne.  I'll join in a pilgrimage about reconciliation in Coventry.  I'll witness the great church architecture in Canterbury, Durham, York and London.  I think I'll hear Evensong most nights. And maybe a little royal watching in Windsor!

There is more, of course, with some especially exciting adventures ahead as I transition into a new era of my life, grandmothering.

I hope that it will be interesting to see exactly where I do go as I set off on this great adventure.  I think I'll be pondering this idea that everybody is going somewhere.   This is my current theme song. Click the Link to hear from the Blind Boys of Alabama.
