This reading was so amazing for me, because we just returned from a trip to Portugal. And my wife became ill there. She needs surgery. We debated whether we should do it there, but our doctor at home recommended we come back to the states. But this particular reading, when it talks about “don’t think that you’re more vulnerable when you are on a voyage ,” is so appropriate for our situation. Because the truth is, we are vulnerable everywhere. It might be more convenient to become ill far from home, and it might be more expensive, but the truth is the worst can happen anytime. Thank you so much for the contributions you make to our intellectual lives!
