HITTING  77


Hitting 77 - now being seen - at times just 
as a shadow on off white - grey white walls - 
looking around - wondering if anyone is ever
really interested in anything I have to say -
in the evening, in the dark night of life.
Well …. God ….

Hitting 77 - waking up the next morning -
noticing that others - are more than shadows -
walking on tile  floors - coffee cups and cell
phones in hand - words - words. Is anyone
listening to what anybody else wants to say?
Well .... God ....

Lots of people are listening!
We go to the Boatyard on Sundays after the 8:30 and reflect on your homily.
Yesterday Horrible Sara was discussed in the parking lot of SJN and then used a couple of times in perhaps an uncharitable way.
The Sheep Pen homily was great in the beginning of May.
The history lesson on St. Mark was extremely helpful.
I have emailed your Integrity sermon to a number of people.
Etc., etc., etc.
When Fr. Bob recently concelebrated with you he gave me Communion and I said YES before I said Amen.
Keep it up! I have reread the Death of Michael. Out of space but still listening.
Etc, etc, etc.
