"Somewhere we know that without silence, words lose their meaning. That without listening, speaking no longer heals. That without distance, closeness cannot cure" -Henri Nouwen

Distance makes the heart grow fonder.... and more impatient. I am enjoying the busyness that comes with being back to being an employee and student and friend, but with Devon working a church retreat this week and me being busy with transitioning, there is that achey feeling that settles in of just wishing to be back to the way things were in Nashville. Long walks, car drives, meals, hours...time... just time with one another. It is all gone when you decide to move across the country. Oh, the moments we wish to speed past... they're the ones we always want back.
