Writing in the Holy Land

I’ve had little time to get to a computer here in the Holy Land, which is at it should be. My time has been spent praying, eating with new friends, walking the streets of Bethlehem, and reading some of the gut-wrenching history of this place. When I do steal a spare moment to reflect and write, I’m torn between writing what is freshest in my mind–tonight, a rosary prayer walk along the wall–and what I fear forgetting–like yesterday’s journey to Ein Karem, the traditional site of Mary’s visitation to Elizabeth on the feast day of the visitation. I will write whatever I can, but it will inevitably be scattered and incomplete.
