Come this friday, another dear friend leaves the home nest and embarks on a new season, life in a strange land.
Why are we out here? Do we return? When do we meet again? Even astronomical conjunctions are predictable - why is ours so difficult?
Strangely enough, even some friends, though in their home-country, seem like strangers in their own land, nomadic in outlook, thought and existence.
Meeting in heaven, sounds fine and dandy, but for now while we live in our skins, it offers weak relief. Will we get to gather around a great celestial campfire and trade stories that we all missed. And we'll have eternity for that. So hold on to your fork!
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Romans 11:1
