Quote From Fr. Henri Nouwen's the Road to Daybreak
"So I am praying while not knowing how to pray. I am resting while feeling restless, at peace while tempted, safe while still anxious, surrounded by a cloud of light while still in darkness, in love while still doubting."--Fr. Henri J.M. Nouwen
Fr. Henri's words resonate with me as I prepare to start life at L'Arche D.C. in a few days. Currently, I am placeless, or at least in a transitional state. I drove from NC to Mt. Orab, OH on Thursday. I am here to be a groomsmen for my friend David's wedding. We had the rehearsal yesterday, and the wedding will take place at 5.30pm. I'm really happy for David and Rachel, and lucky to be able to be part of this journey for them. I got to meet some of David's family and friends from his LSU days.
Being with family and friends that are not my own has made me reflect on my own cadre of connection from college, california, to L'Arche Dabyreak days. I've been able to stay in touch with folks with L'Arche Daybreak in a way I haven't been able to with folks in Cali. Folks I met in Cali and my life there feels like a distant yet pleasant dream.
