Vacation. From the Latin, vacatio, from vacare, “(to) be unoccupied.”
My dear sisters and brothers, I’m about to embark on my annual August-long leave, temporarily vacating my life of labor as your rector. I look forward to being away – not from you, my community – but from the daily rounds of work, which require hours on end week after week. (Truth to tell, there aren’t too many moments, even on my weekly day off, when I’m not thinking about St. Mark’s, you, the people, and our many programs, what happened previously and what’s coming up, what’s working and what’s not working, and what to do about it.) So, August, for me, is a time to be unoccupied. A time to read and to reflect. Especially with Pontheolla, a time to recollect and reconnect. A time to read and reflect. A time to refresh and to rest (well, as much rest as my indomitable, indefatigable bride allows!).
With every good wish and earnest prayer that your August treats you kindly, I’ll see you in September!
Love and Peace,
Paul
