Under African Skies


I hope your rambles have been sweet and your reveries spacious."
-Emily Dickinson

Under a spacious African sky I understood the feeling when every ounce of your being, every nerve is alert to fully grasping a moment in time- a place, an image, a breeze. As I peered across grassy plains and watched the huge shapes of elephants lumbering past, I paused and breathed in the scent of coming rainclouds. Something about Africa and its alarming enveloping beauty caused me to learn how to savor.

As I begin this journal, I hope to catalog my experiences and reveries as I ramble through adventures from the Green Mountains of Vermont to the rolling hills of western New York to wherever in the world life takes me next. I also hope to share my spiritual journey as I seek my place in God's mission. So, here's to savoring and learning and sharing. Run the earth and watch the sky -Chris Rice.

Peace of Christ,

Careth Lee Davis
