Why Do I Write This Blog???

The easiest (and probably the most honest) answer to that question is: I don't know. It all started in the summer of 2005, when I went to Crawford, Texas ( a.k.a. the home of the prez's ranch, a.k.a. the home of Camp Casey) to support Cindy Sheehan. I wanted the world to know that, contrary to what one could read in the mainstream media, the peace movement was alive and well and large numbers of Americans did not support the war in Iraq. I wanted people to know that thousands of Americans were willing to travel to Texas and tolerate the heat, humidity, and bugs in order to support a grieving mother whose new purpose was to shine a light on the lies that led to the war and to bring home our troops so that no other mother would have to know the pain that she felt.

Over time, this blog has become more of an exploration of who I am, my spirituality, and how life works. I love life's complexities, exploring the shades of gray. I want to, as Rainier Maria Rilke said,

"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer."

Maybe my blog is just one big question about what is needed in order for people to take the time to love and cherish each other and our earth. Maybe someday, I will "live along some distant day into the answer."

In the meantime, thank you for joining me on my journey. I welcome you to share yours with me

New Shoulders. New Blogger. Who Could Ask For Anything More???


End of two weeks in physical therapy. I am getting so much better, it's scary! Every cell of my body is smiling with gratitude. Still work to do, but happy to see results...

AND I am now FINALLY on New Blogger (whatever that means). I know I now have this label thing to do at the bottom. Any other stuff will have to be figured out when I want to spend some time with it. Anyway, this was a long time coming, and now I no longer feel left out.


Before (16 days ago)

After (today!)

Re: "big difference"... I think that someone should take me out to dinner to celebrate, don't you???

Re: New Blogger, I may be emailing you to find out how to do fancy things with this.

Yes, probably I should do that!

Next Saturday I have a meeting in Denver, but I don't know when it ends.

And I'd be happy to talk about New Blogger, whatever I know.

No! I was meaning that my hubby should take me out to dinner! If you come to Denver, I would LOVE to take YOU out!

I will email you my phone # and if you are around, not too tired, and have the time, I'd love to meet with you.

Too many?
Not really, it's what we came here to do in this life...

Ps:
My wife runs a healing centre here in southern UK (various sorts of Massage, Floatation Tank, and many other therapies...)
--they do wonders for jetlag!

If you are ever over in the UK (and in beautiful rural Devon), drop in for a *free* session, -be lovely to meet you both!

Thanks for your kind thoughts and offer!

I am actually a "retired" massage therapist. I stopped working a couple of years ago, due to painful trigger thumb. It has healed, but I didn't go back to work. Now I am dealing with these shoulders. Who knows what I'll be doing in the next chapter???
