And So, I Went Skiing

“To meet the needs of others

And ignore the whispers of your own soul

Is to succumb to the illusion

That there is a time more precious than now,

And a place more heavenly

Than here.

(The Art of Pastoring: Contemplative Reflections, William C. Martin, p. 2)

“The first question is, “What time is it?”

The second question is, “Where are you?”

The only correct answer to the first is, “Now!”

The only correct answer to the second is, “Here!”
