Reflections on America’s 250th Birthday “The United States themselves are essentially the greatest poem.”— Walt Whitman A couple of years ago, Vickie and I sailed into New York Harbor. I had seen the Statue of Liberty before, but not from the deck of a ship at dawn. Nothing quite prepares you for the moment she appears …
Walking the Way | Enspirit Sagrada Família I want to tell you about a man who began building a cathedral he knew he would never see finished. His name was Antoni Gaudí. The year was 1883.

We’ve been high in the mountains of Guatemala this week—7,500 feet up in a place that feels closer to heaven than the noise of the world we left behind. The Mayan village of Chuluc rests in the shadow of a volcano, but what truly takes your breath away isn’t the altitude or the landscape—it's the …
