In the middle of difficulty


 “In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” – Albert Einstein

It’s been a really long day, so I will keep this short. Today I had the opportunity to travel to a city about 3 hours away to participate in a meaningful event. Even though the day was naturally extended by the early morning departure, it felt even longer because it took me out of my routine. Further, it took me out of myself to have the honor to share the day with deeply committed people who are sacrificing for what they believe in.

We all willing trudged from this venue to that venue to participate in all that was being presented. It wasn’t easy—pilgrimages seldom are. There were challenges at every turn—not the least of which was the challenge of dressing for both inside and outdoor events—layers notwithstanding. There were also many opportunities and blessings lying within our difficulties. There was much laughter, inspiration and camaraderie among all of us. In this day and age of apathy and cynicism, it is refreshing to find people who really care about a cause.

May you march forth through your difficulties to discover the opportunities that await.
