Then again there are many of my friends who run a mile when I play Tom Waits....hope you enjoy the festival and it nourishes and holds many.

I'm working at it, but suspect GB may be several steps too far right now.

In valuing him, even in the only limited way I can, brings meaning to all the people who are gatherd around me. <BR/>There is such a risk of disappointment with Others. We are constantly confronting our (my) limits. And maybe I am beginning to see that our limits are exactly what they ought to be, allowing vast room for God.<BR/>I don't know Amos, but I feel such love for him-<BR/>what is that??<BR/><BR/>oh, maybe I answered that already.<BR/>...Suzannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01659076782219331925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20973277.post-55118977104311352632007-07-31T11:04:00.000+01:002007-07-31T11:04:00.000+01:00paris, thank you - just running in and out, strang...paris, thank you - just running in and out, strange, it works ok on mine, scroll down my links to Father McCleary and you will find the wise one waiting.... will honestly try and put forward 5 tonight (not easy) - thank you again for your kind wordsThe Harbour of Ourselveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07718023812771923348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20973277.post-77193524303706362292007-07-31T09:25:00.000+01:002007-07-31T09:25:00.000+01:00Such encouraging, important words.

He was born with severe disabilities including hydrocephalus. In fact, his head was so large that he couldn't hold it up and spent his days living in a large cart he could wheel around the extended care facility he lived in.<BR/><BR/>When I met him for the first time, I was so taken aback by how he looked. I had never met anyone like him before. And yet, I had just been hired to run a summer program and knew he would be a part of it later in the summer. In order to get over my discomfort, to get to know him as much as I could, I made a point of touching base with him at the end of every day. By the time he arrived to take part in the camp I was running, my discomfort was gone. I had learned of his beautiful personality and his ability to make others smile.<BR/><BR/>Seeking beauty is a journey sometimes...and it often is found after visiting a place of discomfort....it is transformative (though I hadn't looked at it that way until I read your post) I can evolve without you consciously being aware that you've left the land of discomfort....and settles in to open your heart.<BR/><BR/>sorry for such a long comment....can you tell i've been away from the keyboard??<BR/><BR/>Amos sparkles with beauty and innocence.....awarenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098432781380754899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20973277.post-71111903344372485172007-07-31T00:17:00.000+01:002007-07-31T00:17:00.000+01:00thanks caroline..... can't decide about layout - b...thanks caroline..... can't decide about layout - black background is great for pics, crap for reading - just trying to find a happy medium.....<BR/><BR/>hope all is well with you....will you be at GB?The Harbour of Ourselveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07718023812771923348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20973277.post-42963900001368400192007-07-30T23:33:00.000+01:002007-07-30T23:33:00.000+01:00Love the photos, and the new layout, and your word...Love the photos, and the new layout, and your words.Disillusionedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03250678226289036634noreply@blogger.com
