Thursday is the National Day of Prayer and and noontime is our local service.  Sometime in the hour I have my twenty minute speech.  I am leaning into this one and my thoughts are concentrating on this event.  I have a plan, just need to shine it up a little.   So, yea, come on down if you are local.  Oh, at the Vashon Theater is where we will be.

Part of my strategy was to pick ten Caminoheads and get their thoughts on the concept of unity.  I did that and that is forming the basis to my talk with me amplifying each.  I think about it being ten two minute talks which my brain can handle.  Anyway, Padre Tomas was the very first to answer my request and he said something short and sweet and appeared at first sight to be off topic.  But the more I thought about his words the more I come to realize that it may be the key to the whole situation.  Gracias Padre Tomas.

His words were really about hope and gratitude.  If we can clear our mental landscape of everything but these two things we can begin to formulate a beginning point to think about unity.  That is where I am at this moment.

We have a walk this afternoon on Phil’s Camino.  We will try and step with hope and gratitude to get with this unity thing.  Thanks for checking in, with you always, love, Felipe.
