There's something about sitting quietly together around a fire, watching sparks fly up into a darkening sky, Orion and the Big Dipper swinging silently by overhead. We debated mildly about whether those two planets that have been hanging together for weeks now are Venus and Mars, Venus and Jupiter, some other thing entirely? (Does anybody actually know? Inquiring minds would love the true answer!)
We talked about what we'd seen, what we'd learned, what we'd done or wished we had done. We laughed or amened or maybe got a little tearful, as seemed called for.
We talked of coming back. But ultimately, we said good-bye. And thank you. They thanked us, but I do believe we were blessed more.
