Leaving.

  It is difficult to live in two worlds.  But wonderful too.  I have been thinking about how to articulate the experience of leaving and arriving.  I recently read this blog post that I think does a pretty good job at saying it.

Rachel Pieh Jones ends her post with the following:

A tug-of-war reigns and it is both exhausting and life-affirming. It intensifies color and taste and laughter and sadness.
This is what leaving feels like.
This is what arriving feels like.

Wow.  I can resonate with that.  Here are few moments I captured on camera from the last few months where colour, taste, and beauty stirred somewhere deep inside of me.  I am so grateful for the amazingly creative God I serve!
