Many of us are "lost" but I often think it is merely a quest.<br /><br />On a road trip and finally am in a place with wifi, so I am temporarily back to enjoy your blog!!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223040482420514208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-46063668475821607252012-04-06T06:40:32.114-04:002012-04-06T06:40:32.114-04:00Shalom dear Birdman.

If you still speak the words "intrigued, sacred, mystical, and enraptured" then I think you are not "so lost" at all. <br />You are luckier than the many who have never experienced the "smells and bells" and the drama of The Church, who have never entered into the mystery. <br />Maybe you just need a trip to Jerusalem to get your attention again? Meanwhile I wish you blessed and moving holy days in Maine.Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461925401870320466noreply@blogger.com
