Prayer can be a defense mechanism...

...which we use to shield ourselves, avoid pain and miss actually encountering Jesus. Sounds like dangerous words, and I guess they are, but hearing them come from Jean Vanier while sitting in his study gives them compelling credibility. Of course I haven't done his words justice, so look for the videos on The Work Of The People coming soon. We've been watching a few clips and they're all amazing words from an amazing man. I was there and I already want re watch it all and drink it all in again. Not idol worshiping here, it's just that the warm embrace of L'Arche, which we had been bathing for the last few days, gives him an awful lot of credibility. The "proof" of what he says is still warm on our skin.

There's so much more to tell. But we're into the wee hours here. Long day. I'm sending this out from Julie Edgely's tres chic apartment where Travis and I are crashing for the next couple of days. Finished filming in Trosly-Breuil this afternoon, hopped on a train, arrived in Paris, grabbed the best steak & frites I've ever had and now my body is ceasing to function.
