somewhere.
Yes, now is a time for a deep breath, resetting the systems occasionally. Refresh the workings of body, mind and soul, who have been in the trenches too long now. Let them out for a time where they can air out.
I saw the word “whooshing” this AM on FaceBook. Events, ideas and bits of information are whooshing by leaving us in the dust. We don’t have enough time for it all. Sometimes a particular facet of the situation will resonate with us and we respond but the overall volume of it all is well, overwhelming really.
Keeping centered and grounded are important endeavors as we claw our way through this year. Maybe it is time to seek some help from those we respect to smooth the way. For one I need a session with Father Tom our Padre Tomas. I will email him today. I need to “walk” with him for a while.
We are capable of figuring things out, we just need to work on it together. We personally are carrying our own personal piece of the puzzle. It really doesn’t make a lot of sense on it’s own, it needs neighbors to fit in with.
Well, I am off to the Institute later this morning, have a 1:45 check in. I will get tested so I can continue on the next three weeks of my clinical trial. And also I will get the results of my scan from last week. So, I will let you know about that.
I was going to pull a few weeds before having to shower and gear up for the city so off I go.
wishing for carefree loves, Felipé.
Good morning, Phil! Vaya con dios as you claw through the traffic on Michigan Street today. I am praying for good results for your tests. Today’s blog reminded me of an earlier one on how you can’t change the wind, but you can change the sails to steady the boat. My eye fell on the reading in my morning missalette for next Tuesday. It’s the one you refer to, one of my favorite gospels. Violent storm . . . boat swamped by waves . . . he was asleep. Lord, save us! . . . O, ye of little faith . . . he got up, rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was great calm.” All is well.
Henriette ~ thanks for sticking up with me on my journey. The calming of the seas is my favorite miracle of Christ. We are starting to study the miracles in my Bible Guys group. So, I will learn more. Later, Felipé.x
I recently picked up a copy of a book titled Seven Sacred Pauses. Based on the liturgy of the hours, it’s not a book that guilts you in to cramming a bunch of prayers in at set times. It’s an invitation to pause, maybe just a few minutes, and live with an awareness of the day God has gifted us with. I too have several doctor appointments scheduled for July, to see if my amyloids are still being held in check. My heart numbers point to damage (NT pro BNP- normal number is <175, my number is 2600). But on the cheery side, my number was 7400 a year ago last January. Moving forward, one day at a time, clovid notwithstanding. Off to the beach next week with my wonderful wife. So many blessings.
Curt ~ thank you for joining us. I see you are on a health journey also. We will keep you in our prayers. And yes, I love what you said about the Seven Sacred Pauses. Keep in touch, Felipé.
