Do you ever feel like just getting away to somewhere quiet, isolated, still, and silent? I do. We were on our cruise to Greece and even from our bustling ship, we were able to sit on the balcony and view the remote islands in almost complete privacy. Even upon anchoring, we still felt far away, knowing that it would be at least a tender or walk into town. We saw several small boats and yachts, and often wondered what time out at sea would feel like. Lonely, at times, but peaceful and calm. I think there are certain types of people who, for at least a period of time, choose to sail, climb, hike, or otherwise spend time on a journey seeking solitude or perhaps just time with one or two other people.
The cross depicted at the top is actually on top of ruins, but it fit with the idea that even when we feel alone, Christ is with us. Whether we are choosing to spend time in quiet reflection of God's creation, or if the aloneness is more of an emotion in the middle of a difficult time, we are never truly alone.
