Believe me when I say that I have absolutely no idea what I am going to write about today.  I feel kind of let down after the high of the holidays.  All of a sudden all this reality is showing up.  It doesn’t feel very fun really.

What comes to mind at the moment was something our son said once when we were in trouble.  “Well Dad, we will just have to think our way through it.”  OK, right, good man.  And by the way we did.

Don’t get overwhelmed is another thing that comes into play here.  Have to keep working the problem till you can get some wiggle room, till some daylight appears.  I guess that what I mean by the title of today’s post, “Walking On”.   A bad stretch of trail is just that a bad stretch.

I get a little unhinged when I have too many details flapping around unattended.  Once I corral then up into some semblance of order to actually see what I got I am better off.  That’s what I need to do this morning apparently.  There see, a plan emerges.

Sorry about not feeling like my usually cheery self today.  Just a little scattered maybe.  But I feel better with a plan.  Thanks you helped me.

Well OK, I think I will get moving.  There is some kind of crazy colorful sunrise happening out there.  Huh.  Love, Felipe.

The ground is wet out there and the creek is running so wear those rubber boots.  But come.

It’s not the Cotton Bowl but it’s Phil’s Camino.  Felipe.x

Welcome to the very new year, can’t get much newer.  Here we are on the threshold of a new space, a blank canvas ahead of us.  What are we going to do with that?

On the coffee table sitting next to me is the Spanish Table, a cook and wine pairing book, a birthday gift.  Our dear friend Michelle from down the road just gave it to me for my seventieth.  I like the title and maybe that is close to the mission statement for the new year..

That’s a lot of what we do here, re-enacting the Spanish Table.  We walk and converse and then we sit around that table to rest and celebrate our time together.  It’s a communion of souls meeting for a time to re-enact, to remember, to reinforce our memories of a special time, of a special community.

We don’t need a lot and we don’t ask a lot.  It’s all a simple thing really.   It just requires an uncluttered space to unfold.  Maybe that is what we should look for in our upcoming year, an uncluttered space.  It will be a place where we can unfold together and share in what we have know and have learned.

Thanks for being here, so far so good, love, Felipe.
