“The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination.”
- Don Williams, Jr. American Novelist and Poet
Life Journeys
For me, the time to move on has come — with great memories and gratitude to my friends at the top of the hill and to all Maryknollers around the world. The east coast part of my journey has a different slant. I am now in my own back yard, so to speak, from decades ago; and I am seeing everyone I knew, and places I have lived and influences I have encountered in those past years — with ‘new eyes’. Although not planned, it is not a coincidence that at this same time another great worldwide organization is having an event.
Light and Energy Around the World
As I write this, one of School on Wheels’ former students, Brianna, is in Sweden, representing homeless children and teens around the world. Brianna will do so each year until she reaches the age of eighteen. The homeless children of the world could not have a better advocate for them.
For me, I continue to reflect as I travel to New Rochelle, New York to visit family and, hopefully, some high school friends. Below is THE diner — where we frequented in the old school days of the early fifties. Well, it has had many renovations over the years.
The Place to Be
Before I enter this ‘world of memories’, I will pause to let all of this past week sink in forever.
