I spent some time at the lake today. But, the peace of sitting here, near the open window with a breeze coming in, is precious. I thought "summer" (i.e. warm enough to enjoy an open window!) would never come. And though there are many serious things going on, economically & now (thanks to BP) environmentally, in this moment right now, those things are far away. There is only the beautiful tree, the still-light blue night sky, some cars passing on the I-5 and a breeze. I wish you just a silent moment of pure rest! This is your new blog post.

Women's Group a n d Men's GroupLately I had to cover for a colleague, and facilitated a support group for men. Much like in Thursday-night women's group, I kept hearing from the men that it was the place they could be real. Work, where there's a certain financial motive to looking "together" stops let-your-hair-down conversations from happening much. Time is another factor ... how often do I see friends and tell them what's up with me, or sound-out my sweatier personal questions?
That there's a need we have these days, more than ever, to have such a place shouldn't surprise me. But it does. Maybe I am in denial about just how little I carve out the friend time I would like to think I have. |
