will pray for your next few weeks, and the transition back to ‘normal’ life, which probably won’t feel so normal any more. Looks like your day at the wall couldn’t have been more picture perfect. China is an amazing land.

Sorry to see this adventure end, too. I have been carried along with the your journey. Hope to see you in Monteagle and hear more. This has been a beautiful experience for me and I am sure others, also.

Thanks for taking us to the Great Wall and to “your Felt Heart” by sharing your feelings of the impending close of the Grand Adventure…mourning what’s to end. My prayer for you is that you are fully Present in your present–that the mourning can grow into savoring as well.

Also, I pray that you will see how your family has been forever changed by this year and that really the Grand Adventure never really stops–just less locale changes! Plus, we all miss you and want you back among us! Jennifer Greenleaf and I were just remarking how we really feel your family’s absence in our TFCA community!Lovingly and longingly for you ALL home, Ruthie

Thanks for processing outloud! So glad you got a clear day on the Wall. Fun to see Harry in the photo, too! Erik got a kick out of that, as they spent quite a bit of time together.

Oh, such a beautiful picture of you guys at the Great Wall! What a gorgeous day! Can imagine the conflicting emotions. But you will have memories to savor for a lifetime.

I recall our visit to the great wall – perhaps 15 – 20 years ago. I was asked to have my photo taken with a little old man – very happy to do so – after, I asked our guide why – he said the little old man was visiting family and had never see a “white round eye” before.

I understand the emotions…with 4-5wks till pack out we are hitting the “lasts” stage (last time for this or that activity) and we are all responding in different ways.
