Rainy Morning

 

 

Oysters at tapas yesterday. Fresh off the grill with lemon and hot sauce.

Rain coming down, looks familiar.  Oh well, have a lot of indoor stuff to catch up on.  Steve my buddy from Ashland OR is here in the neighborhood and meeting up with him at some point.  And how are things with you?

Catherine and Dana showed up for the walk and tapas yesterday afternoon.  The trail was nearly normal.  Monday we had mallard ducks in the puddles and Tuesday I didn’t wear my rubber boots for the first time in months.  A couple of days of sun can dry things up immensely.  But now we are back to more rain.

I have been working on my stack of books that I received as gifts around Christmas time.  Right now working on Richard Rohr’s “The Divine Dance”.   He is so amazing at clarifying seemly complicated things for me.  I read his daily blog also so I am up to speed with him as much as possible.

I wish I could boil his message down into a few paragraphs for us here on my short post.  But maybe it is possible to say something.  This book is about looking at the Trinity in a new way.  That contemplating on The Trinity as a model or blueprint of relationship we can see the world and our lives in a different better way.  Sort of changing our understanding can change our perceptions and that can change our being.  It is more in line with the way God was thought about by the early Christians.

Yea, I lean on this stuff pretty heavily these days living with my cancer.  It is reassuring to know there is more to life than my problems.  That there is more to life than the daily human drama.  That I am part of a big plan, that we are part of a big plan.

OK, I hear the Comcast gal is going to be here any minute to check out our dead landline.  Better get out of my jammies and get things going.  Alperfect for miles, love you, Felipe.
