spring break recap: glory days

This is how tired I am right now.  I wrote this whole thing last night and then shut off my computer and went to bed without publishing it.  Nice.  Happy Lenten blogging to you.

We all have them: places that hold such memories that they have become sacred and strong, worn and loved hard.  Frontier Ranch is such a place for me.

It’s one of those place I can walk around and the memories fall faster than the snowflakes: ski trips in high school, leading trips in college, coming out and living there for a month as a volunteer the summer I turned 21, doing some of the best work I’ve ever done.  I was right there when…  I was sitting here when…

What could be better than that?  Seeing a whole new generation fall in love with it.

I wish I could scoop you up and take you there, walk you through all the wonderful stories, listen to yours in return.  Places like this make us richer for having known them.
