by Mark Weinrich

This stay-cation 
has been a cruise 
into knowing,
knowing that God still
hears and responds
after 45 years, through
cancer and numerous surgeries,
through retirement and relocation
we continue this journey 
traveling where the Lord
would have us go 
through prayer.

What challenging times
we face through tears
and joy, as we journey 
into stillness, 
lifting up family, friends,
and those waving from
the pier.
