Right now I am watching the Equality Ride West Bus slide show. Every time I watch that slide show I think of the awesome and wonderful privilige we were granted. Makes me think why me? Why us? Why were we chosen? The oppourtunity we were granted by a Higher Power is nothing short of a miracle. Something divine allowed us to put up our guard and be momentarily blinded to the possible danger and hostility we could face. None of that seemed to matter when we knew that there are students who face that danger daily at their campus. Uh mah gah.... I would do it again in a heartbeat to help students at those campuses. I would even listen to Travis sing...willingly listen to him. I feel honored to know that something we did changed so many lives. And the song simply reminds me of a divine moment in time.... a moment when we all put aside our differences and willingly traveled for two months in a smelly, cramped bus with a stinky bathroom. Or the time we willingly traveled overnight from Billings to Ellendale and parked by a truck of cows...or pigs? i think they were cows. But you know what? In the middle of Montana... or wherever we were.... the stars have never been so beautiful. I never felt closer to God than at that moment. I cry every time I think how blessed we are. Many people never get the opportunity to help a single person. We got the opportunity to help many. Many people never travel outside their home state. We saw mountains with snow...mountains next to ocean... stars in the middle of the wilderness.... Yes thats what we were.... travelers guided on our journey by stars in the midlle of the wilderness.
