Ash Wednesday Airborne

Much of today was travel -- driving from the mountains to the city, then flying 5 1/2 hours on a diagonal route across the country.

I was fortunate to have time in the middle of travel to pray the Litany for Penitence in the sanctuary of the Cathedral of St. Philip. 

".....we confess to you and to one another....that we have sinned by thought...by word...by deed."

Then time to gaze out the window, watching the miles pass as the sun set, pondering how to "renew a right spirit in me." 

Greeted at the end of my journey by a welcome of smiles and hugs. Then at last covered in slumber. It will be well with my soul.
