CBC Interview with Jean Vanier

On the drive home from Red Deer to Calgary, after leaving my dad & mom & brother & 'abandoning' the family to get back to normal life & wait here for Dad to come down for his angiogram, I was surfing the radio channels for something to listen to on the solitary road home.....

Ended up at AM1010 listening to CBC radio. They had an interview with Jean Vanier, founder of the L'Arche community for the mentally disabled (where I believe Henri Nouwen worked for a portion of his life).

Anyhow, brilliant interview, lots of deep stuff to think about. Very deep guy.

Go to http://www.cbc.ca/tapestry/archives/2005/041705.html & scroll to the bottom of the page. Once there, you can listen to (and/or download) the interview. It's nearly an hour long, but well worth it. If I get more time sometime, I may post more of my reflections on it. But it was extremely relevant to my situation now just dealing with weakness & growing old & life & love & everything... Highly recommend
