Summer of Discovery and Reassessment

It was a hard time in late Spring/early summer, when I didn't get the result I thought I ought to get. As late summer arrives, at last I gain some perspective on that. There are still unresolved edges, but the is also a recovery of priorities. Gary put me onto James Davison Hunter's book "to change the world" and it covers rewarding ground. A new sense of mystical connection also strengthens - if I can work out how to do this from the iPad I will post a Samuel Palmer to illustrate. There is also deep peace and enjoyment of the RHDR.

Back to work today - back to stress and responsibilities. Back also to vocation, privilege, and pilgrimage; the fascination of life, expressed also through children and grandchild. Feels much better! 

Apologies for silence on this blog

Dear blog-readers

I am intending to revitalise this blog - sometime soon! Thank you to those who check back here from time to time.

Talking to Ike reminded me of this:

What wondrous life in this I lead!
Ripe apples drop about my head;
The luscious clusters of the vine	35
Upon my mouth do crush their wine;
The nectarine and curious peach
Into my hands themselves do reach;
Stumbling on melons, as I pass,
Ensnared with flowers, I fall on grass.	40
Meanwhile the mind from pleasure less
Withdraws into its happiness;
The mind, that ocean where each kind
Does straight its own resemblance find;
Yet it creates, transcending these,	45
Far other worlds, and other seas;
Annihilating all that 's made
To a green thought in a green shade   HenryValensi+GreenSymphony+1935
