We know that. But do we really believe that? Do we really trust in that? Questions, questions, not a very good sort of introduction. Sorry.

The post yesterday was truthful but limp. Somehow, I am looking to make up for that without “jumping the shark”. I did finally emerge from my heavy fatigue to maybe a medium variety. Puttered around the kitchen and put some ingredients together. I haven’t been spending so much time cooking as I did last year and am somewhat rusty. But did get jello made, OK that’s not very difficult. Also had the stuff to make oxtail soup and potato salad and got that done. All three of those can survive nicely in the frig and be handy to have.

Am going to start thinking today about packing for the Austin trip. We are flying out on Friday. Catherine y Dana chauffeuring us, thank you. This is going to be pretty darn amazing and of course I will be blogging from there to give you a rough facsimile of what’s going on.

Speaking of rough facsimiles, my prayer of “God Is Good!” is a rough facsimile of the cosmic situation at least in the world according to Felipe. Yes, and where, do I go from here? Well, cosmically probably not much need really. But here at the ranch we have a walk in a few hours and it has just been pouring but it may clear. Then I have some shirts to iron and get ready for the big trip.

Before I leave I will have to credit a nun on the Camino for giving me the “Pilgrim Beatitudes” which had the phrase “the silence of prayer” which I worked on for a long time before I got it. The gist of it is that God is so close that we can leave the realm of words and communicate with our thoughts or perhaps better. So the fewer words the better is the thought.

You are good, love, Felipe.
