Monday morning and time to regroup after Archery Camp, after Festival. Time to sweep up and get ready for what’s next. Right now there is thunder happening above with a sprinkling of rain. A deer mom and two fawns are browsing outside.

Reverend Bonnie is off to Port Townsend for a writer’s workshop. That sounds like fun. She will try and stop on her way back though Seattle afterward to catch some more archery with Felipe. She was so awesome on Saturday when she shot here. She hadn’t touched a bow since high school days and she surprised me with her skill and endurance. We must have recreated for three hours when most folks would be done in an hour or less. So more fun to come.

Her sermon at Burton Church yesterday was a thing of beauty. A little bit of intro and then an introduction to Heildigard of Bingen (sp?). She was among other things a medieval physician who we talked about not long ago in regard to the book “God’s Hotel”. She saw humans as gardens as opposed to modern medicine seeing us as machines. H of B talked about keeping our lives wet, green and juicy and not to let ourselves dry out. I’m paraphrasing somewhat but your get the idea. Yes, let’s do that, keeping ourselves juicy!

Then we moved on to centering prayer with the congregation participating in some of that practice. It was very moving for me. We were pumped and about ready for anything after all that. You will have to catch her somewhere down the road.

OK, I am going to move on down the road here myself. There are some things that have to happen today. The best to you where you are. Oh, I can’t wait to say this: juicy loves, Felipe!
