Refueling

Posted on July 2nd, 2008 by Shewolf

There is nothing like family. We have gathered and I have met the last brother found. Each of us are so different and yet there are so many common threads… It does something for the soul to be around my siblings. And then there are the few moments with mother that simply fill every empty space left. How dear, how nurturing and how very important for us to gather like this.

I am back in Vancouver and we have a full itinerary. There are crib tournaments, invitations to dinners, more gatherings. Ah, it is good.

I am flying back on Tuesday. I fear the train after the nightmare coming. I will get my ticket refunded the whole way I was told…I love the train and that trip out for four days was such a disappointment. Until I leave, we are booked solid. LOL.

We drug the gathering into several days and kept t going by staying at my nephews and having a wonderful longer visit with brother Doug and Darcy and Verona and their children. Then we met the boys and came over to Horseshoe Bay and had dinner with John and Bobby when Ron met us. On the spur, we drove on out to Ron and Wendy’s and stayed overnight before we even came home. Now we have dinner at Tiff’s coming up, we have arranged to meet Wendy (Ron’s wife) for a little shopping spree.

It is beautifully warm here on the West coast. There is nice air high up in through the windows of Lil’s condo as we are above the other buildings.

All is good and I am refueling.

As was taught our ancients, the Yellow Race was given incense to pray with, the red people ( native) were given herbs and bark and roots, the black race were given song and dance and the white race was given...

- Shewolf: As in my blog about Christmas earlier, an Elder says that we are to make everyday Christmas. It would be something, wouldn’t it?

- Shewolf: How far the lack of fear can take us. If we approach something out of fear….we are fearful not loving. Yes, the world is an absolute mess it is in because of our FEAR and all its tentacles. Ilsiten to the news as little as possible, but I heard, last night, how there is no...
- Carol Knepper: You are so right. Fear is not the motivator we need, nor is God a monster. To live in fear is to become ill in body, mind, and spirit, for one cannot live in fear on a daily basis without anger and resentment, which cannot of course be expressed to the one or One who is feared. All...

- Rob Ganson: On Carol’s “White Wisps” Somehow, I’m transported, by these ghosts, to a bent sort of time where the needed de-evolution seems possible. In stanza two, we are reminded that that which feeds the body can, and must, feed the spirit. That even meat, especially...
