O Holy One
We thank you
For trips that dislocate us
For maps that reorient us
For views we could not have imagined
For voices we never quite heard before
For all travel that leads to you
For armchair journeying in a good book
For podcasters with unfamiliar perspectives
For conversation partners who push us
For prayer that redirects us
For all travel that leads to you
For taking off with all we think matters
For coming home with nothing to show for it
For thirsty work and unexpected meetings
For hurrying back to share the good news
For all travel that leads to you
We thank you
Amen.
