Spanish cooking. You’ll be great at that! AND lavender. AND Roses. And the joy of your place– Rebecca and Sture and corn and all of life’s regular stuff– now with another dimension behind it. (My two cents worth–) Now you’ll have new Meaning and memories coloring everything. A gift, as it looks to me. Parting IS sweet sorrow. We know that. Yet again, it seems to be that while we are in an experience, a big, significant experience, we have no memories of it– no time or way to reflect on it, to know it deeply, to work it into our own deepest selves. That part has to happen afterwards. Afterwards is when we find the meaning, when we enjoy and contemplate the whole of it. That takes time and reflection, and I am always encouraged to take the time — if I pay attention to the hints and visions and reminders of memory. Not as easy for some of us as others–
My two cents worth, Brother. Welcome, welcome home!
Love You Man !
Dad– you can focus on the corn stand also, if there is enough of a harvest. Remember how fun that was last year? I remember when we were setting it up and the first car that drove by stopped and bought corn and talked to us for a long time. It was a wonderful way to connect with people and meet neighbors. Hey, it would be interesting to plant lavender and roses somehow along your actual path of your virtual camino. That would make the fields harder to mow and maintain. But it would be interesting. I would imagine that the constant connections with other people are what you will miss the most. Beware of filling that void by increasing internet activity. I have learned that as much as virtual social connections feel good in the moment, they end up adding up to depression ultimately, the more time you spend on the computer, versus outdoors, or doing something real with your body and mind. But you know this! You are very wise. Pilgrim on, pilgrim.
Hi T, yes, you’re right. Seeking the right balance. Love, Dad.
