voyages and graduations and suchlike matter

To finish the moment, to find the journey's end in every step of the road, to live the greatest number of good hours, is wisdom.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Today Seabury is graduating yet another class of students...M.Div, MTS, and DMin folk shall walk, share the eucharist with all gathered, and sing. It should be a good time.

This morning I was reminded that today is the feast day of St. Brendan. How fortuitous.

Yep...Today is about journeys. Wandering and milling about in the name of God. Some of us live lives as if we were cast adrift at sea. Some of us have direct flights with no stopover at O'Hare. We are on a journey...a pilgrimage. Today our journeys end and begin again. A ministry colleague reminded me that these times are bittersweet. True enough.
