You might be interested in this article by Anne Hartman from the Trinity Forum Academy's online newsletter CONVERSATIONS. The opening text is below; see this link for the rest: http://www.ttf.org/index/conversations/detail/fortunate-disillusionment/ ---------- Fortunate Disillusionment An alumna turned staffer shares from her journals. I’m looking back at a journal entry from the end of my year as a Fellow here at the Academy. I remember writing it: sitting under the trellis at the back of the house after midnight, watching the moon on the water and listening to the trees shrug off the June breeze. I remember the feeling of urgency that for me often accompanies the end of something—the need to look intently, to take in the scene around me, knowing that I will not quite see it in the same way again, from the same vantage point of belonging. Perhaps some of that urgency grew out of the understanding that, while the view from the back porch would remain essentially the same, my perspective would shift with my leaving, and shift even again in coming back. I knew that I would be able to revisit, but never recreate. ---------- The entry has 808 more words. http://www.ttf.org/index/conversations/detail/fortunate-disillusionment/
