I am learning. I am grateful for the surprise - that I still have so much to learn. About simple things like love and faith. About conflict, resolution, and acceptance. About how the past can still sometimes haunt the present. About how much tenderness a heart can hold and how that tenderness can be a healing thing in a sick world. About how sick the world really is. About how little and how much one small person - me or anyone else - can do to help. About how long the road really is to home.

I sometimes wish I didn't have to learn so much. But I'm thinking the alternative would be worse. Either I'd be closed-minded or dead! So I am grateful for the learning. Even when it is painful.

I am here. In the scheme of things, it does matter.

Peace.
