As French existentialist/philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre said, “Freedom is what we do with what has been done to us.”

The fifth step toward forgiveness is our understanding that, like with most things in life, it takes time, effort and practice. Learning to forgive is a process. We may take three steps forward and two steps back, but so long as we keep our eye on the destination, the day will come when we are free of the weight of our burden.

Palm Sunday and the meaning of life. Up at 4am. Wheels up 7:20am. Couple flights. One bus ride.

One day swimming in a backyard pool. The next, Palm Sunday, sharpening the saw amongst snow covered mountains and a famous high altitude lake.

Hidden message in it all is that hard work and a dream ultimately have their moments. And lead beyond typical expectations.

We’re still following our big dreams, right?
