Day 1 / and Wild Geese

So our journey has begun...Steve, pete and myself are in Dublin tonight. It ended up a gorgeous day down here. I love this sense of adventure, of getting away and getting on the road, the sense of journey and excitment of meeting new and amazing people. It reminds me of that Celtic symbol of the Holy Spirit, wild geese. To be free and unrestrained and to fly with the wind. Also, unlike the sweet and calming cooing of a dove, a goose’s honk is strong, challenging, strident and unnerving – and just a bit scary!! In much the same way the Spirit of God can be, demanding and unsettling. Check out our wanderings here on the true blog!! We are going to keep blogging the trip this week hopefully...Stevie did todays report!!

It's wierd, when I travel I find myself missing Lins more acutely. I think it is partly due to the fact that I have more space to think but mainly because our vow to one another was that we would be open to that Wind and the adventure of the Spirit. She loved the spontaniety of doing life together that way. Anyway I continue to try to be inspired by that....and carrying her memory with me as I go...
