Today I am writing not specifically because of Patriot Day, but because of another moment. Yesterday, after having written Within the Steel Orb, I wrote a brief letter and went to send a copy to Madeleine l'Engle, but then I learned the news: she had passed away earlier that day.
I believe it is fitting that during her last days I should be finishing and sharing Within the Steel Orb a work that owes much to her. I owed as much a debt to her as to any living author, and she is the only one of my favorite authors whose lifespan overlapped my own. The news of her death stung.
May her memory be eternal.
But that is not the whole story. I am starting up an excellent job soon, and I look forward to getting to know the people better. The job has God's fingerprints all over it. As I am moving forward, it is in the kairos moments that Madeleine l'Engle wrote of... and other good things as well.
There is a fresh page ahead of me in my life, and I look forward to reading it. Onward ho!
