Ah, St Paddy’s Day in the neighborhood and elsewhere. A beautiful morning shaping up here. Back from Mass and tailgating at Thriftway. Catherine is back after three weeks away so I had supervision.

I see we missed our Day 10 with Everyday Camino with Annie so we will catch up today. This is an excellent quote from Rev. Michael Bernard Beckwith: “We are living in a high tech low-touch society.” The Rev put it well and succinctly. We here in our lives can get the idea that our existance on FaceBook and other such networks, for instance is somehow real existance. Maybe we say I have so many friends on FB, so look how popular I am. Maybe we neglect real people next to us for our virtual people.

This thing that we have substituted for real life just isn’t real life. It’s fun and maybe satisfying on a lonely day but it is hardly the same and it is dangerous to think that it is. The Camino for that brief period of time gave us the chance to be with our fellow man directly and unhindered. Sometimes it was a bit much but it was the real thing that we experienced.
So the point is how can we get closer to that here in our everyday lives with all it’s stresses and distractions.

We have a walk this afternoon at 4 in the afternoon. Should be a good one. I have some of my nurses from the mainland threatening to come along with probablies from some of my fav locals. So, we will work on maintaining our Camino skills in the here and now at Phil’s Camino.

Time to make it happen. The best to you wherever you are today. Thanks for stopping by. Sunday loves, Felipé.

Remember to mark on your calendar August 23 through the 26th for Felipé’s Festival right here at Raven Ranch.
