“Jet Lag Night”
We’re in Spain, and have been on the go-go-go . . . jet lag be dammed because, after all, we may not be here again. Just downloaded pictures from yesterday’s walking, driving, seeing, eating, drinking and finally sleeping (only to wake three hours later wide-eyed). I chose this one as it reflects the latter.
You’ll say it’s unusual, but you’ve seen the normal ones of these places.
The truth is it was taken right at the moment the guard said, “No photos,” and I put my hands in my pockets and said, “Que, mi?
No importa. Today is one of rest and we’re enjoying a wonderful introvertish time, moving slowly, like two spirits in the land of quiet. Funny how we have to get away to enjoy such simple pleasures.
New Book
Coming Soon.
Anne, however, is working . . . proofreading. As it happens, the book I talked about last year (was it last year already?) is finally about to come out in print form. That’s the gathering of meditations from Ecclesiastes originally blogged on this site. The first hard-copy proof was forwarded to us here in Spain, something that impressed me. Anne, I’m happy to say, was impressed just seeing the book!
It’s entitled, It’s About Life, which I felt fitting for such a wide range of topics. It occurred to number it, “Volume 1,” leaving the door open for any to follow by the same title. Isn’t everything about life?
And here we are traveling through it, us in Spain and you wherever. And we’re communicating . . . because that’s a part of life too, a very big part.
Enough for now. Maybe I’ll provide a more conventional “travelogue” another day. Or maybe not.
I’ll let you know when the book’s available. Should be soon.
For now, time for another nap.

PS Just in case the fuzzy photo didn’t satisfy, here’s one of us in Segovia.

I’ve always liked “streaky light” pictures. Not sure why each feels like an abstract masterpiece but they do. Enjoy your travels!

A great picture – both the furzly streaks and the lovely couple at the end! Looks like fun.
Look forward to the book coming out! Great going – Ecclesiastes is one great book.

I’m reserving a copy of the book for my piano patio … where seamless reflection takes place daily among parents and students alike! We’re feeling the vibe across the miles, you two, “eucharisteo” (grace + thanks + joy) be your’s.

I’m thrilled about the book. I told you the work should be published to inspire others with your wit, experiences and insight. I can’t wait to read it (again) and share it with friends.
Praise God that you and Anne get to share more of God’s beautiful world together. Cherish the moments!

Hyatt,
Great photo of you and Anne. I am so jealous!
Sue and I met in Madrid while attending university there in 1986-87. Your picture brings back memories of the long walks we would take together around Madrid through El Retiro park, the Prado museum, Puerta Del Sol, Acala, Paseo de la Castellano, and road trips to Avila, Segovia, Malaga and Alicante.
Madrid is a great place to walk, just kick back, slow down and enjoy the tapas, vino, history and culture.
Now I am motivated to take Sue back next year for a reunion. I hope you catch a bull fight!
Thanks for sharing.
