The Journey Begins

This is the beginning of our blogging, which is appropriate since we are beginning a new leg of our journey. Four years in Belgium, a year back in the States, and now we prepare for 5 years in Italy. As we travel we will write. When the journey is full and fast, we will write fast and sparse. When the journey moves at a slower pace, we will write more reflectively and expansively.

We write because we believe that the journey itself is the true treasure. It is along the way that we grow and change, that we are prepared for the next thing. We believe that how we travel is more important than getting where we are going. If we have not given attention to how we are traveling, when we arrive we will be unprepared.

So we will write and reflect; we will notice the landscape and listen to the stories of the people we meet along the way..
