{My time in Ottawa} ~ Another dear friend's prayerful spaces

Icons in a dear Ukrainian friend's home;

I met her the very first vespers I was at 

in my Ottawa parish;

it was her first day in Ottawa.

She had long hair, was studying theology and living in the dorms.

Almost 10 years later, married, shorter hair, three boys,

a husband, house and job as a librarian.

It was so good to spend time with her again this trip

and see her family, her beautiful three sons.

I am blessed to have her in my life and that we 

can talk about things that deeply matter to our lives

and to our salvation.
