on the road to Missoula (notice who is at the wheel)
our two drivers above who got us here safely
the welcoming committee in Missoula
In our days away, let us play
together. Let us laugh together.
Let us be moved to speak
such meaningful words
as ought to be spoken
among family and friends.
Let us linger long at tables and drink deeply
of one another's company, enjoying each
for who they are with the steady pressures
of our ordinary days now lifted.
Bless our journey and our arrival.
Bless our days spent away.
And bless also our eventual passage home, that,
we might return as those who have been revived,
with hopes resurrected,
delight restored,
hearts readied again for
forward movement into life,
strength renewed to shoulder once more
the meaningful labors assigned to
in this season.
-Douglas Kaine McKelvey Every Moment Holy
