Again so much depth in what you are sharing with us.

Reading your pre for Chautauqua and your beloved stay, give me this time even more a feeling of; “I feel blue”

And yet, through your words, I’ll be open to what wants to find me here at home and at my mothers.

Thank you Alan!

Opening, Accepting, Allowing, Meeting, Welcoming. Those are guides that can be used in so many ways. Once again, you've added depth to how I think about today, this week, this summer, etc. Thank you, Alan!

Dear Alan, your text about Preparing is simply another big, tasty piece of chocolate that I get to nibble on. Moreover, it is also a lesson in the English language regarding the word pre-pare-ing. The nature of life ans the last sentence:"I'm not going to find something. I'm going there to meet what now wants to find me." Hopel;y surprising and precious what wants to meet you this summer. Love Tuutje

Thank you, Tuutje. At various times in my life, many important discoveries, people, opportunities, and challenges have found me. And they've always been a gift, even if not always easy. I'm curious what will find me in the coming months. Wishing you a beautiful summer!

This is beautiful, Alan. And what a kicker: "I’m not going there to find something. I’m going there to meet what now wants to find me."

Thank you, Cate. As I just replied to Judith, so many things have found me over the years. And they always become blessings.
