I have not yet really spoken of the “being humbled” part of the journey. The entire experience of it, the act of it, is quite refreshing. Humble is a good word, and we all need to be reminded of it:
hum·ble [huhm-buhl, uhm-] Show IPA adjective, -bler, -blest, verb, -bled, -bling.
adjective
1.
not proud or arrogant; modest: to be humble although successful.
2.
having a feeling of insignificance, inferiority, subservience, etc.: In the presence of so many world-famous writers I felt very humble.
3.
low in rank, importance, status, quality, etc.; lowly: of humble origin; a humble home.
4.
courteously respectful: In my humble opinion you are wrong.
5.
low in height, level, etc.; small in size: a humble member of the galaxy.
Yesterday and today I was reminded of friendship through dear friends who remain even more dear than I recalled – and even several strangers who were kind, generous in fact, with their own sharing.
Humble. Honest. Human.
