Sorry about the rant yesterday. Sometimes I crave those quieter times when it was just us and the newspaper, the one on paper. But things are more exciting now for sure. Keep on the sunny side Felipé.
Right now I got the dishes done, had a shower, had breakfast and am looking out the window at the blue sky writing to you. Catherine will be here at 9 so we can do our walking rosary. Then to St. John Vianney’s at 10 for Communion. All mapped out and God willing it will happen.
We had an exciting Zoom Friday with a bunch of the Bureau Chiefs and Catalina our Historian. We are trying to push the book project forward. This is the condensed version of six years of Caminoheads blog. Pretty exciting really.
Steve-O our North West BC will be here in person this evening for an overnight stay. We will catch up around the campfire. Alperfect.
Jen one of our regular walkers and good friend came yesterday evening and did a plein air painting out is the south pasture. The predominant grass is high and has a particular red tint which is eye catching in certain lights. I love the concept of plein air, to work in the outdoors, out of the studio. Old time baseball and football were plein air. Most of my life has been plein air also come to think of it.
Speaking of which, come by if you want to pick some berries. They are coming on heavy. I made shiny new picking cans yesterday for you to use. You need a handful of juicy blackberries on your Cap’n Crunch.
off I go loves, Felipé.
You Kiddin? I LOVED the rant! Felt better right away! It’s hard to have compassionate thoughts and envision peaceful relationships with tiny tech gadgets that I know are not, not, not required,needed or in many cases, wanted for a full and joyful life. I lose my phone and accessories constantly. Why? because I guess I don’t WANT to know where they are. A Jewish friend of mine isn’t Orthodox, but observes Shabbat. part of that is no electronic devices allowed for that 24 hours. She sometimes extends it to essentially two days – starting in ther morning instead of at sundown.
Perhaps your rant is really important. Perhaps we need another routine and an observance to come back to less-interrupted, less-confounded, less-frustrating spiritual times of reflection and just ‘being’ instead of ‘doing’. Maybe that observasnce, like Shabbat, would take away, for a time, the always-in-the-back-of-one’s-mind awareness of electronic bidding that might occur.
Something to consider, I think. For me anyway.
Pretty sure I used to live without, and not ever notice I didn’t have tech gadgets that I was tethered to. In fact, I didn’t have tech gadgets at all. In fact, neither did anybdy else. And pretty sure we didn’t wish for or imagine how great life would be if they were invented, either! Hmmm.
Call it a Rant Addendum, I guess.
Steve-O ~ we all thank you for the “Rant Addendum”! What an added feature and at no extra cost! Good to see you again. I’m not sure that we got to all the things we were going to talk about. Hope to see you soon. Felipé.
