…Act,—act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o’erhead!”
-Longfellow, A Psalm of Life
After Canada, I took several days down in Tijuana. This was more or less my regular trip there, so I will be brief.
I went down to see several good friends of mine take their first vows and become nuns. I don’t care what your beliefs or un-beliefs are. These young women are giving their lives for what they believe in. That is very beautiful. And very much so to me, with my wanderlust and transient ways.
On main thing that had changed since I was last down in Tijuana in March, was that they finally hung the bells. Only one was operational, but that was enough. My bro and I did a lot of bellringing with the friars. We were bellringers. I think that’s something I can check off the bucket list.
