Not a Odyssey but more of a sojourner!


So sitting not often that offered myself such a privilege, well not recently, when with youth groups we often found ourselves sat around chatting. A gathering.
As l drove home past and across the Westwood. Noticed small group 3 parents females with group young children playing football. Yes in this hot summer we are at last experiencing while mothers sat with wine ending their picnic.
Is that not wonderful the very simple values of sharing encounters and the everyday peace that can be ours if we only seek third moments 
But l'm left...Ask you to indulge myself as l ponder again and ponder a new. Why do we not seek more of this?

How did we become so task centered and orientated to miss these opportunities?

I no longer meet with the walking group to take daily while a few times a week strolled along promenade spring summer autumn winter ,days no longer happen. Got suggested l was the glue held us together made this happen. Now l'm gone it's not a gathering. But events end serve a purpose we move away moments just don't arrive.

When do you arrive to a place of togetherness. Nower days got my gym buddies we chat some st one gym others briefly at another . More commonly at Outer town gym. Good sessions often end with us drinking water, some have a coffee. Plan and sometimes we meet at places away from gym.

What endings are taking place for you?
Are you experiencing new gatherings?

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
