Still doing dishes from the wedding amongst other things. What a disaster area but working our way through it. And we are not short on documentation so will be posting more pix here.

Terry Hershey in his weekly blog Sabbath Moment wrote a paragraph on the wedding and will copy and paste it in here in a moment. He was blogging about seeing the Mr Rogers movie and writing about the safe and sane place that his show provided in a sometimes crazy world. So our event got a mention on the shirttails of that good stuff. Terry wrote:

“Last night, I joined a group of islanders to witness vows under a cloud dappled sky. In my belief system marriage is a sacrament. And an important social and communal ritual. And more than ever, a statement necessary in the face of cynicism and depletion. A sign that hope is still alive. So, another Kleenex moment. Open the spigot. Damn. But I don’t apologize. I am grateful to know my heart still works. In fact, I feel empowered, invited to choose to be a steward in a world where care matters, to create neighborhoods, to be on the lookout for anyone who is on the outside or left out, needing home or sanctuary.
​​​​​​​A Wise Physician said, “The best medicine for humans is love.” Someone asked, “What if it doesn’t work?” He smiled and answered, “Increase the dose.” “

Boy, that was a great segue. I wanted to announce the opening of a pipeline to deliver tens of thousands of gallons of love to my chest cavity. It will be focusing on the area of the disturbance that I also call my cancer. I have gone through all sorts of ways of viewing and thinking about my tumors and lately seeing the area where they occur as a site of disturbance has been a good way. I am flooding the area with every sort of love that I can come up and in major volume.

I love the way Terry talked about creating neighborhoods and we have been about that work here too as Cris identified recently. She was seeing the Caminoheads blog as a sort of neighborhood and brought that to our attention. Isn’t that the best?

OK, that. could be it for today. Let me dig around here for a few pics for you. A walk and tapas this afternoon, don’t forget. Cardigan loves, Felipe.
