These past few months (actually past couple of years) have been incredibly transitional. Again, it is like being in the bardo...the land of the in between!
A month ago I came home from a deployment to Antarctica...and am still transitioning to "regular" life (whatever regular life is!).
This past year+ I have been going through the "Anglicanization" process. A time of transition, learning and growth as I transition to the Episcopal Church.
And just this past week I was ordained a "Transitional Deacon" with the Episcopal Church. It was a beautiful ceremony at the Cathedral.
The power of ritual and rites of passage to mark major transitions in life! And it is powerful!
But sad too, as now I leave the Cathedral...and yet again transition to the next era and place where the Spirit is taking me for awhile....to the next "edge of the earth"!....
"regular life" - remember that "normal is just a setting on washing machine".
