In the AM before our walk and am trying my best to saturate myself in this concept of unity. I have been working on the speech but mostly I find myself working on unity. It is a tricky sell. But I have some keys that have been presented to me by fellow Caminoheads that will carry the day.
We have a walk this morning in an hour. I am counting on a little bird to help me put the finishing touches on my talk. She will fill in the blanks and the whole thing will fly.
I am inspired by thinking about romance languages where words, thoughts and ideas have a life of their own. This is a place where I can rest my mind and they can all sort themselves out on their own. The speech can write itself.
Actually the speech is not going to be written at all. I have structure provided by the comments of ten people that I asked to help. And I will elaborate on each of those. That is the format, well and then an introduction and closing.
I think that I will watch Papa Francisco’s TED talk one more time. Trying not to be nervous, well just nervous enough. Here’s to the National Day of Prayer.
Alperfect all the time, love , Felipe.
Would love to be there to hear it in person! The single best advice my college speech instructor gave me was this: If you’re not at least a little nervous at the beginning of each public talk you give, you are not going to give your best. That “nervousness” thing is your system telling you “this is important”. Adrenalin piques our senses. We need it.
Love you, Man! Knock’em out.

Juan ~ thanks for being with me in spirit yesterday. I am going to give the same talk again and will try and get it recorded this time. It came out well. And yes I was just the right amount of nervous. Hello to Farmer Cathy. Felipe.
