As I climbed to the top of Aurthur's Seat in Edinburgh the magnitude of this accomplishment began to dawn on me. Not only had I traversed the crags and hills that led to the top, I had done it on my own. With not nearly enough water and a little adrenalin (thanks creepy old man), the views of the city became more and more visible until I could see the hills of the surrounding counties and the bay behind me. Sitting on top of the peak I traced the ways in which I had come to be here. On my own. In a strange city. With such joy.
The life changing adventure of last summer has inspired me to pack up and try one on this continent. I'm looking forward to time spent alone in reflection and prayer; pondering questions and trying to figure out where I'm at. Time spent with friends; refreshing laughter and talks from the soul. A time to shake off the day to day and find a place of renewal.
