Rho’s blog post yesterday generated a whole passel of comments. Check those out. Always nice to have a guest blogger here at Caminoheads and beyond that she seems to have struck a chord with us as a group. We all seem to appreciate her thoughts on sufficiency.

It’s a very foggy morning here at the Ranch. Visibility is 50 yards. And that damp still air seems to chill us to the bones. It turns us inward. This is all in contrast to yesterday afternoon when everything was sunny, warm and expansive. We pull our neck back inside our shell. OK, will check again later, thanks anyway.

Just not coming out to play right now. It is like the whole process of Lent. I like that, Lent as a process. Time to look inward and take stock of our personal situation and of our personal relationship to God and our fellow man.

This is always hard to do with all the usual nagging distractions of life. Everything and everyone wants a piece of us. We have to be a little like the old lion tamer at the circus with an “on guard” chair and a cracking whip fighting to give ourselves some personal space.

And somehow this conflict has been all turned up lately with social media and the press almost bullying us with their ideas, priorities and interpretations. We need to get our internal lion tamer out to fight back the urge to panic and stampede. We need to believe in our own inner strengths and our own abilities to navigate through these times of doom and gloom. In other words be steady but we know that, just a reminder then.

Thanks Rho, we are sufficient, yes.

great big over the top loves, Felipé.
