A Troika

Still snow.  Cougar tracks seen a few miles south of here.

If I remember right this is a bit of Russian history. A troika is the three horse setup used to pull vehicles where the three are abreast. We don’t have anything like that here in the States.

I have a troika going with my three “C’s”. My Cancer, Catholicism and Camino is a team that pulls me along. Each one of those three has a whole world around it. For example the horse Cancer is the whole world of that for me which includes my family, friends, doctors and nurses. It is that world that the disease cancer brought together. And Catholicism has its own world, a spiritual place with it’s many moving parts. And likewise the Camino isn’t just a physical trail it is a Way, a spiritual world of the hearts and minds of pilgrims past, present and future.

These three strong horses work together to get me through the snow or down the road or wherever I need to go or is worth going. They are a team. That is the way I see things at present.

Yes, that’s the way we roll around here. Off to lunch and a few hours of work. I know we don’t have much time now due to the upcoming holidays but once in a while leave a comment, it keeps things lively. You are the best, love, Felipe.

  1. Phil! This month we are blessed with the fourth C- Christmas! And it looks like two miles away is the fifth C- a cougar.
    Those darn swimming Cougars. Miss you friend. I have another C- coveting your snow.

    1. Man, Esther, you just got all over this one. Three more C’s, wow. How did I miss those? You are sure welcome to the snow, no charge. I’ll even throw in free shipping. Miss you guys. Felipe.x. ps. – Christmas stress just officially started this afternoon.

  2. Felipe,
    I’m listening.
    Also usually learn a thing or two from your meanderings.
    Wishing you peaceful days this Advent.
