Well as usual for a pre-flight night of sleep I slept for about 4 hrs.
I don't know what it is, but regardless of what's going on I tend to sleep little before I fly. Of course this makes me pretty wacked out.
I spent some time reading Ps 119 (just a bit) and Ps 51, praying, and reviewing some Nouwen. I sat around as the Hungary teachers prepared to leave at 4AM. A fine send off.
This is what I'm musing upon right now:
"Without solitude there can be no real people. The more you discover what a person is, and experience what a human relationship requires in order to remain profound, fruitful, and a source of growth and development, the more you discover that you are alone--and that the measure of your solitude is the measure of your capacity for communion. The measure of your awareness of God's transcendent call to each person is the measure of your capacity for intimacy with others. If you do not realize that the persons to whom you are relating are each called to an external transcendent relationship that transcends everything else, hocan you relate intimately to another at his center from your center?" --John Eudes quoted in the Genesee Diary by Henri Nouwen
