Checking in

In one month’s time, I will have finished my two end-of-semester projects and six remaining papers and will be winging my way back to the Upper Delaware to begin the next phase of my seminary education: internship.

The reality that my time is almost over is ever present and I savor the clear, cool and flowery surroundings in Berkeley. My eyes tear briefly when sitting with friends at mealtimes or during class and I know profoundly that it is a unique moment that we share.

I am happy to have been away; I am ready to come home.

I have learned a lot about a lot of things. But the most significant learning has been to understand the fabric of the heart. For it is there that love is born.
