Saturday morning we had our worship service led by Harriet who passed around white paper in the shape of doves. On our paper, she instructed us to write our dreams and hopes for the book then release them into the “sky”. May the book have a life of its own just like the birds. Lunch

Yesterday was a very full day. After breakfast, I led a workshop on Writing as Prayer.

This morning Emily dropped me off at the Franklin Institute which I explored while she went to church. It’s this fantastic museum for kids and pretty fun for adults as well. I got to walk through the heart, sit in a fighter plane, played with magnets, and lights, and rode a bike through the air.

It always amazes me how far we can travel in such short a time. For example, today I traversed the entire North American continent in about 5 1/2 hours. Compared to the 33 hour flight coming home from Kenya, today’s was hardly much at all! Walking through the airports, it feels like old hat to
