Discovering Ithaka

Captain Chip and his Best Mate, Michele, set off to Discover Ithaka. The name of their 40' trawler, named for the Greek Island as described in a poem by Cavafy; his interpretation of Homer's epic describing Odysseus' quest to find his "home", the home of his heart. (see post 06/18/08 to read poem) Together they will circumnavigate the entire eastern United States; also known as The Great Circle Loop...nearly 6500 miles in all. Each day experiencing the journey to the "home" of their hearts.

A Heavenly Day

It's Sunday...we missed mass again today...

Some days there is just no time for prayer...but, when I stop, on a glorious day like today, and lift up my arms to the sky and say, "Thank you God", I know He hears me because my heart hears him reply, "You are welcome"...and that's when you know, you are communing with God in a place that is holier than any temple or church...Today was a heavenly day.
