A Wondrous Universe

 Hello friends.   It has been a pleasure and a nice reflective tool to share these blogs with you.  Thank you for reading.   Today is the penultimate day of the 2019-2020 Partnership to End Homelessness AmeriCorps term.  I will be at a photo shoot for the Servant Center soon and then out to Peacehaven Community Farm for my final few hours with the folks.  Thank you everyone for being a part of a unique experience.  I have enjoyed getting to know you all.   There has been challenging times, for sure.  I learn from my spiritual group of friends that just showing up and soaking up the energy goes a long way towards keeping one balanced.  I have gotten away from some of my spiritual studies and practices and so I plan to resume those.  As my friends said, "crack open the books", dust off my spiritual healing shoes and learn once more.  I give value, time and offerings for those who would like to receive the healing p...

 Good morning.  I am going to limit myself to twelve minutes for this writing.  I am going to work with Backpack Beginnings (BB) so I can add to my AmeriCorps hours, which is almost at its' end, and to say goodbye and thank you to my friends at BB for time well spent.  I know I had my quibbles about the program, and the other programs; we are not perfect but we can strive for it.   Like to today in the neighborhood.  As I was walking through the park the bike that I have been seeing thrown on the ground was still there, there were still plastic bottles strew around the picnic bench, that I imagine the kids playing basketball had left, and the blow up pool was still out, along with shoes and socks and various other things that the people leave out, as if the public park were their backyard.  I could pro'lly go pick it all up and well, what would that accomplish?  People would probably come back and do the same thing again.  I was imaginin...

Greetings.  I sit in the pause of thinking what to say, as if there is some reluctance because we haven't spoken in a while.  I've been busy.  But I love you none-the-less.  And I always enjoy our time together. So thanks for listening and taking the time to read this.   Songs have been on my agenda.  I have been writing them and singing them and working out the chords on the ukulele.  I am hoping to play one soon for my Peacehaven friends.  Maybe you could join us?  I know Covid makes everything different.  I have yet to completely make peace with Covid.  I feel anger rise a bit when it forces me to change my habits and restricts what I might do because I have to second guess myself.  Wait, can't, or shouldn't, do that with Covid.  It is like having a snake in tall grass- there it might be and no one to cut the grass. But the grass does get cut.  The lawn guy came today.  I wonder if he came because I asked...
