Capturing Shadows

"We travelers, walking to the sun, can't see

Ahead, but looking back the very light

That blinded us shows us the way we came,

Along which blessings appear, risen,

As if from sightlessness to sight, and we,

By blessing brightly lit, keep going toward

That blessed light that yet to us is dark."

~Wendell Berry

Thus Mr. Berry introduces us to Katie Tricarico's blog, Capturing Shadows.

Kate and I grew up in the same church; her father was the pastor. Wednesdays they opened their home to my father and I for food, laughter, singing and bible study. Nearly five years ago Uganda called her family to be missionaries, and in the isolated regions of Karamoja Kate began blogging about her new life and all the adventures therein, her wit, humor and gracious heart dancing out of my screen and flinging her words into my enchanted soul.

Now, studying abroad in Rome, she continues to delight me every time Google announces another post. Won't you care to join me?
