About to depart on the last flight I will physically

inhabit this year

actually two

actually four

they will be quick

one hour or less each

then driving

being with wonderful people

sandwiched  between monotony and

frissons of fear

then reverse flights

then more long haul driving

then I get to throw my heart in the air

and wait for the girl at the gate

tomorrow there will be little elegance

but I can be kind

and we may all be principled

and brave

the way I look at it

what a privilege it is

to live out in airport lines the

message of hope and peace

we proclaimed

in church

today

 

Some strange peace
occurs in the midst
of pain
of violence
it is a decision
made in time of storm
a decision in our grasp
though
certainly
strange
