Minnesota Winter 2011.
I am more excited for this trip than I have been
for something in a very long time.
In sitting here in LAX airport
I am brought back to the post I wrote this summer
regarding Airport Stations.
That post remains truth &
speaks to the exact emotion I feel as I sit here,
in anticipation of seeing truly dear friends.
Friends who even from across the country,
manage to think, care, & appreciate friendship with myself.
Phone calls almost daily, mail, &
online contact really paint the vivid
intention that I feel from these relationships in my life.
It always strikes me when I look at how
my relationships of a few dear people
half way across the country are much closer & intentional
than a majority of my relationships in my own state,
or even city.
But then, sometimes the result of distance is not negative.
Rather, it (for lack of better word in my mind at the moment) forces us
to be more intentional, more outward,
& even more creative in those relationships.
On a less serious & appreciative note: I'm still trying to wrap my mind around why in the worllllld God would make a place so cold.
Friday forecast in MN: 18 degrees,
"feels like -5 degrees"…
NO JOKE, the forecast really has the nerve to tell me it will feel like -5.. cruel.
But, Fargo, then Minneapolis, here I come!
