Walking the Path

 I have never stopped walking the path or seeking spiritual growth. What I have lost is the connection to the community I had when we lived in Kentucky. I didn't realize how much I had missed that connection until Sarah and I returned to Lexington for a book event. Seeing old friends reminded me of so many good times we had together. I miss the fellowship. I miss our gatherings, spiritual retreats, and meetings. Most of all, I miss my friends. 

Here, walking my personal spiritual path is often a silent stroll along the shore of Old Tampa Bay or a walk through the live oaks in Philippe Park. I feel closest to the divine when I am outdoors and surrounded by nature. 

The peace and beauty of divine creation restores me as nothing else can.

Summerfest!

We will celebrate Summerfest on Sunday, June 29th. We will meet at Guide Chandonn's at 2 PM to hold our annual meeting (usually very short) and celebrate the arrival of summer.

Our theme this year is change. This is a current buzzword in the political world, but its meaning goes far beyone this year's election. Nature changes every day - the seasons change, the weather changes, living things are born, mature, age, and die. We change our roles in the world - child to parent, fast food employee to business owner, single to married to single again... our possibilities, and the variety of life directions are endless.

If you need a more humble set of directions, namely those to the event, please contact Guide Chandonn. Our fests are pot luck and, while not required to attend, bringing food or beverages to share is always appreciated.

Blessed Be and Blessed DO
