Just confirmed that this summer I’ll be taking a pilgrimage to the village of Taizé, France. Taizé is a living, working commune of Christian contemplatives that exists as a safe haven for people from all backgrounds. Founded in 1940, Taizé served as a hiding place for Jews during WWII. Today, Taizé is a fully functioning community where it looks like I will quite literally have to work to earn my stay. So, for those who have been reading my blog, it looks like Afghanistan will have to be put on hold (probably the smart decision anyway). Needless to say, I’m stoked for Taizé!
