The Crossing: My wife's and my personal wheel

An ancient stone bridge spanning a treacherous mountain river was destroyed during a war in Ethiopia. Nonetheless, people continued to cross using a line pulled taught by many hands. "The Crossing" reminds us that we need to help each other in difficult times. The old adage still applies:

'Where there's a will, there's a way.'

My wife Jenny writes:

"We spin our wheel often. It is loaded with prayers from friends, family and ourselves. If my husband is traveling, I write a prayer. When loved ones are ill or hospitalized, I write a prayer. When I need courage in my own work--researching and writing an emotional memoir--I write a prayer for courage, honesty, and the ability to ask deep questions. When someone is dying, I write a prayer and light a candle. When Chris first made the wheel it was a thing of power and beauty. Now, chock full of prayers, those qualities increase a hundredfold. Spinning the wheel lessens my burdens and reminds me there's a power greater than me at work."
