trip - late 14c. "tread or step lightly and nimbly, skip, dance, caper"
"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven ...
a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance ..."
Ecclesiastes 3:1,4
The books we read at Northfield take us across thoughts and emotions ... countries and continents ... oceans and galaxies ... even ages and eternity ... and we learn something on every step and at every stop of the journey.
But there are special times when we put our books away ... when we encourage our students to step lightly ... to caper ... even to dance. We like to think that the special trips we take together ... whether near or far ... contain many such memorable moments for us all.
