Sail Away Sweet Sister

This is all about God, prayer, community, music, art, poetry, theology, love and all sorts of things people run into on their life journey, especially when the second half of life is looming ahead. It is inspired by Fr Richard Rohr, by the Contemplative Outreach of Fr Thomas Keating, by C.G. Jung, by C.S. Lewis, Alan Watts, St Beuno's retreat house and all the communities I have a privilege to belong to. It is dedicated to and I hope will be used by my nearest and dearest, scattered all over the planet, and who are falling upwards with me.

Distance and Direction

More dreams about transport. This time (last night) I was quietly going against the tide of a crowd of commuters in my own familiar nearest metro station. Interestingly, the crowd seemed to go in, while I struggled to get out of the station... I swear --  I don't do it on purpose!  Waiting now for aicrafts, flying carpets, camels, horses, ships and bycicles, and other devices the enlightened humanity uses to deal with distance. 

Distance and direction. The way the movement occurs:  fast, brutal; slow, uncertain. My unconscious attempts to communicate with the tiny portion of my personality which happens to be controlled by reason, and which I usually call "I".  I am rather grateful -  clearly, I am not spoiled by the amount of communication received from the outer world; and wish some  people communicated as extensively as my unconscious!

Well. Just joking.

  1. I am getting to understand that when you say you are 'just joking' that this is another way of saying that you are not joking. This is a very English irony - so, you are an honorary Englishwoman.

    So, now you have some communication from the outside world and perhaps you will have some people rushing out alongside you from the station now?
