Cloudy and wet here, perfect for our Good Friday pilgrimage. It is about seven miles on the woodland trails and a few back backroads to get there. We are allowing four hours to do it. We have been talking about this for five years now and finally Catherine and I had to admitt that we were loosing our credibility on this one, so itis time.

I am going to try and go to work for a couple of hours this morning. No power tools though. I realized years ago that I was too distracted on this day to do anything that takes concentration. Keep it safe Felipé.

Did get in an hour of rototilling on the corn yesterday afternoon. Had a pile of rotten straw that I worked into the soil along with the cover crop that is quickly disappearing as I till. Not a finer goal then to think of enjoying fresh sweetcorn on the cob this late summer.

Pilgrim Farmer John Conway is going to be here for the Caminoheads Convention is August. I am going to put him in charge of the corn picking when the time comes. Of course all of this is a God willing situation as my friend Aho’i spoke of in the Comments today.

Am I always going to be behind with my Lenten quotes project. I thought that I had this figured out but I must have missed yesterday, what a scatterbrain Felipé. OK, we will do two today:

All of the ways I walked in pain,
all of the times I felt that I couldn’t go on.
The guilt the shame, and all the things
that held me down are falling away from me.
It’s all falling away, away from me.
from Falling Away From Meby Rickie Byars Beckwith and Michael Bernard Beckwith

What a relief to shed certain things from our lives. We weren’t made to carry such a burden, time to let it go. We have more important things to do now.

And here is a Charles Darwin:

If I had my life to live over again,
I would have made a rule to read
some poetry and listen to some music
at least once a week. C.D.

Yea, what is this once a week stuff? How about every ten minutes? Well, we get the sentiment Charles, yes. I think that a guy can get way to wrapped up in that science stuff and lose the bigger picture is what he is saying I think.

Well, time for us to wrap it up for today. Thanks for getting here to be with us on this Good Friday. Sorrowful loves, Felipé.
