I am about to embark on a trip to France, a voyage of discovery and one in which I can face many fears----of traveling alone to a place where I am not fluent in the language, for example, and of being dependent on the kindness of strangers. But I will also be exercising my strengths, remaining open to learning, reveling in beauty, and feeling the depth and intensity of the ancient places as I walk on paths others have walked, recognizing my connections to all.

Traveling
I am about to embark on a trip to France, a voyage of discovery and one in which I can face many fears----of traveling alone to a place where I am not fluent in the language, for example, and of being dependent on the kindness of strangers. But I will also be exercising my strengths, remaining open to learning, reveling in beauty, and feeling the depth and intensity of the ancient places as I walk on paths others have walked, recognizing my connections to all.
