Our office, the launching station of our work here, is under renovation. Removal of wallpaper revealed bright colored paint in this grand old mansion transitioned years ago into office spaces. Purple, red, blue, yellow and orange walls emerged under fumes of yesteryears glues and demanded unwelcome attention. I wondered what stories they would tell if these colorful walls could speak the stories held deep within this magnificent complex. Exiting the stir of progress for a breath of fresh air, new appreciation emerged for our technical work center that gives us access to information, people and places. We have filtered water, heat, air conditioning and adjustable chairs. Those are luxuries in most of the world. Even our flat doesn’t enjoy all of those things! The “broom” of reconnecting with blessings helps sweep away sorrows . . . and homesickness.
