We arrived in St. Louis about 2 weeks ago with household items delivered about 5 days later. All is going well though I had times I wondered if all the "stuff" would fit in our very downsized apt. It seems to be working out. Instead of looking out at our lovely Vermont brook as I write this, I am overlooking Busch Stadium, multiple freeways and railroad yards. After 13 years in very rural America, in some ways, it feels like we have reentered civilization. St. Louis feels like the center of the hub. We live across the street from the Arch-a wonderful reminder of the move westward, the geopgraphy of our country and the current vibrancy of this city. I feel a link with the first settlers who left from here to explore the west. A wonderful book about Lewis and Clark's first adventure out west is entitled Undaunted Courage. A very interesting read. What risk-nothing known about what was "out there."
What in your life requires "undaunted courage?" What do you want to explore? Will you take the risk?
(Now that most boxes are unpacked, I plan to post more regularly on this blog.--thanks for hanging in during the gap,)
Blessings-Penny
