Reflection on Bread for the World National Gathering 2011 pt2

July 2, 2011 @ 1:21 pm

I walked by trays with cheese and local fruit, ate some of the cheese, drank some water. My failing memories of humidity having clearly been brought to mind, and thankful to be within an air-conditioned building. I walked by tables with informational things and more, down stairs, and found myself in an area  set with many round tables, various coloured cloths upon them. A stage up front, large projector screens to either side, and a large screen with static image on the stage. Cameras and giant projectors in the back… people milling about, some sitting and conversing…

Reflections Bread for the World National Gathering 2011 pt1

June 24, 2011 @ 11:59 pm

So much in so little time. Around 11:30pm PDT I was sitting on a plane as it took off from PDX (Portland International Airport), about 5 hours later it landed in Boston, I got off, went through security again, boarded another flight and about an hour later found myself in Regan Washington National airport. A brief wait at the baggage claim, and the forth bag to pop out was mine, I grabbed it and started the trek through the airport to the metro station, paid my fare, went through the turnstile up the steps and waited to board.  I counted the stops, and after the right number, got off and switched to the red line, as I waited for it to arrive, my mind darted back to a time when I was even further underground, in a mine in  DR Congo. It was humid down in that mine, just as it was in this metro station, except here it was also humid up at ground level as well…

Administrative Note…. News, Changes, and all that jazz

June 18, 2011 @ 10:22 am

Good day amazing person who is reading these words. The Journey of Lyle over the past few years has changed and evolved a bit. Long time readers have probably seen some of those changes, but then there may not be any long time readers… I have for several months (if not longer) been planning updates and revisions to the site. I have also for over a year been planning to some other things. However for a plethora of reason I keep  getting distracted, keep restarting the changes and more. However with this note, I make a commitment to myself to take the time to design and implement a new site design and to get some of my other projects off the ground.
