it amuses me looking at this that at first glance now it looks like it says "come as a stranger with fosters" – why would you do that? it's such a terrible drink! anyway that aside this week's reflection from cathy on john taylor 

Don't you feel like that in these days? We are living in the world but not as we know it. What are we learning in these times? Sometimes I do feel like a stranger in these times and maybe that's good. On good days this can heighten our awareness, sharpen our senses, alert us to things we haven't noticed before, draw us into a solidarity with others. We are learning again how to live in a world where fear, inequalities and injustice have been highlighted. We are also learning that we can be good, we can practise altruism and volunteering is good for us. Taylor's insight also reminds me of some lines from the T S Eliot poem Little Gidding where we are encouraged to explore:

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
