The Final Leg
As I begin the final leg of my journey, I think about what impressed me most along the way. Although Michigan's natural splendor was at times breathtaking, most memorable were the people I met. Seeing with my eyes the wonderful creations of nature was one thing, seeing with my heart the awesome kindness and generosity of people was truly a marvelous thing to behold. Such was my privilege throughout this trip. Old friends and complete strangers (now new friends) demonstrated the innate goodness which resides in each of us. I firmly believe that freely sharing that goodness is the highest of human callings. We are all walking atomic bombs of goodness waiting to be detonated by some life-changing event. Mine was recovery. What will yours be?
