I am a novice as far as this sort of thing is concerned and I wonder if I'll keep this up. Time will tell I suppose.
In any case, I hope that this is a small beginning of what I hope to do (and to keep on doing) when I eventually re-enter student life at Durham University in Oct 2007, i.e. keeping a regular record of my journey to and from that time and place.
The point here is not to publish my most intimate experiences and thoughts. That would be unappealing and unwise to say the least. Rather, I hope that this may be a context where my family and friends can catch glimpses of my footsteps.
So how do I feel as I look towards that time and place? I can only echo the prayer of St. Augustine:
Father,
I am seeking:
I am hesitant and uncertain,
But will you, O God,
Watch over each step of mine
And guide me
(Confession, 11.17)
