The truth of God comes through love, the only real way of knowing God. -Sr. Mary Kay Oosdyke

Oh, the comforts of home.

I just did a double take, as I settle into my umpteenth hotel of the spring…I scoured the channels and was so happy to find the San Francisco Giants game. Turns out it’s a replay of an earlier game today in Miami, but I realized my own confusion given the multiple time changes I’ve traversed in recent weeks…I was slightly confused given the timing… how could the game possibly be in the first inning at 9pm? And then, it felt so comforting to hear the voices of our announcers, Mike and Duane, and I realize the game was on delay…cool. I’ve been to six other states in the last four weeks, and it’s so nice to settle into my evening with the Giants!

This helps me appreciate and acknowledge how disorienting our own changes in routine…locations….and communities….can be at times. Thank God for faith and our shared belief in the goodness of humanity. My heart goes out to all those in the midst of transitions.

This week I share a refreshing take on a musical piece that has been so much a part of my adult experience, the Buena Vista Social Club. Decades ago, I fell in love with Cuban music, and improved my Spanish along the way, with my own introduction to this unique history. If you’re not familiar with it, I encourage you to check them out. Blessings on your week ahead!
