Back From Vacation...

I am back from a whole lot of travelling this summer!  Spent many week-ends in Quebec City, Montreal, St. Anicet, and a few other little spots in Quebec.  I am a little wiped out, and tired of driving!  :-)  But it did give me an opportunity to ponder some things, reflect, and gain some clarity in my thinking.

I have figured out that I am going through some sort of transition.  I seem to be letting go of some things I once held dear, intellectually, spiritually, socially,  and seem also to be embracing things I once found it necessary to rage against.  I'm not entirely sure where I am going...???...   But, it feels much more peaceful somehow.  It seems like a new chapter is beginning.  I don't know what to think anymore about so many things.  I'm tired of thinking I know something.  I don't.  I know I have too many attachments.

The Gita is beginning to speak to my heart.  The Song of God, and beloved Scripture of India, the Scripture that inspired Gandhi.  Maybe it is time to at least try to listen, REALLY listen to the Gita.  Maybe as part of evening prayer...

There was one truly memorable moment last week-end in St. Anicet.  My son, hungry for breakfast, receives his plate at a little restaurant on Sunday morning.  He looks in astonishment!  Believe it or not, he ate it all, except for two slices of toast!
