So many things in the news near and far it just seems comforting to have a weekend in the offing. Maybe things will calm down for a bit and we can take a deep breath. We are supposed to have a dinner later with friends coming over, always enjoyable. We are going to try and get one more meal out of the sweet corn.

I have been getting some great comments lately from you all. The comments really make this blog for without them I would just be howling in the night. Having your ideas come in is so important to me. They get folded into the dough here that turns into tomorrow’s bread. Steve-O our long time friend sent this one in and I would like to give it to you here:

“I am often reminded of the Barrigan Brothers. Of Niebuhr. Of Schindler. Carl Rogers and Martin Buber. Many others, the famous and the obscure; all taking principled and conscience-driven stands and living their beliefs on behalf of the well-being of others.
Examples. Examples in a long line of courageous people of faith and principle that do good, know and embrace their callings, and knowing their unique aptitudes for giving where they can best make their own contributions. Those reflections inform my understanding of the tasks that are most important, understandings that are most helpful, wisdom that must be sought in times as turbulent and fraught as the times we live in now.
A community of others who are seeking and striving towards these goals, with similar aspirations for doing good – it seems to me that therein lies the comfort and therein lies the strength and therein lies the sustenance that we all need to experience an everyday joyfulness. Caminoheads– the blog and all of you, surely contribute to my experience of growth and everyday joy.”

Well, so there! How about that? Maybe we deserve a raise, right? OK, let’s keep on doing what we have started then. It seems to be working in it’s own little way in the very midst of the turmoil around us.

I am glimpsing some blue sky here out the window here at the hospital. Yea, it is brightening up! The best to you there where you are, buoyed up loves, Felipe.
