i’m feeling so very distant and out of touch with those i love the most.  this morning while i made beds and felt quite lonely someone mentioned that i’ll be going home in exactly one month from today.  it’s a long month with thirty-one days in it, but in fact, i will be flying home in a month.  suddenly i could breathe just a bit easier.

but i’m not there yet.  and until i am, i’ll just keep thinking of this song that brings me more comfort than you’ll ever know.

I am constant; I am near
I am peace that shatters all your secret fears
I am holy; I am wise
I’m the only one who knows your heart’s desires
your heart’s desires
