Oh my goodness! Thanks to you I have discovered Howard Thurman - then as ways he seemed to be everywhere. And he loved penguins!!!! I am a penguin. Jo and I make penguin noises of warning when we are irritated. I like to imagine I float but I do waddle a bit. Professor Thurman was indeed a wise man to acknowledge these creatures. Right now the Australian Antarctic stations are advertising for trades people to work there and every time I see the add I regret not become a chippie - a carpenter.

Thank you for this gift today Marcie when my back felt like it was against a wall. Albeit against a very priveliged wall! I haven't been able to read anything this week while moving and unpacking. Jo has become manic and it's a safe mania to date but there's a crash to come. Bug changes in my life approaching and my breath is becoming shallower. I have moved through the week with "be stiill" on my lips. This morning I went downstairs to the pool - yes this building has a 1950's pool my first laps grappled for breath and then I sat in the shallow end and looked at the sun and breathed deeply- and as I sit dripping I opened this up to read about Thurman and 🐧 . I wish I could press a frangipani onto this page for everyone here. Thank you for the weeks lectio - much love to all here. 💜🙏💜

Your Benediction struck me hard. In a good way. I put it on my wall so I can meditate on it more. I want to be all those things. Light, sweetness and shelter… thank you for your words of encouragement!!
