“Sojourners” – What’s in a name?

The third day into the first PLAY it Forward trip to Guatemala, I asked my group to think of a name I could call the travelers so could stop calling them “travelers”, “participants” and “adventurers.” Just when I thought no one was listening, Nathan Worrell told me after dinner he’d come up with a name as soon as I put out the request... SOJOURNERS.

The definition of Sojourn is “a temporary stay” or “to live in a place temporarily.”

Whether traveling or living in a place temporarily or living your every day life, every moment of life is temporary and passes in an instant. Life is a sojourn.

I asked Nathan to write a blog about how the name for PIF travelers popped so quickly into his mind after breakfast that early morning. To read his explanation, click http://web.me.com/kcn8/N8Blog/Philos/Entries/2008/10/28_Sojourn.html.

And to every Sojourner out there, PIF hopes to share a temporary experience with you soon.
