homeward

Tropical storm Noel is heading for the Bahamas tonight and tomorrow, so it looks like I got out just in time. I finally did get out after being delayed 2 hours at the airport in Nassau and then having to run through the Fort Lauderdale airport. Here I sit in Denver getting ready to board the final flight home to SF. The sun in warming me through the large window looking out onto the tarmac and I can't wait to be back in Cali.

On the flight from Fort Lauderdale to here I began writing some reflections from the Soularize experience and if I can be discplined enough they will eek there way onto this blog, and continue my documentation of the event.

It ended yeterday with a round table discussion between Bishop Tom, Rita Brock and Father Richard Rohr. A great discussion on our orientation toward the cross, and the necessity to move into non-dualistic thinking. The degree to which these scholars know their material is inspiring to become more disciplined about life. Father Rohr brings with him a sense of presence to the moment and to the people that I admire and would strive for. No doubt his contemplative practices nurture that trait. Every other year he goes into hermitage for 40 days just to keep himself centered and in 5 years hopes to go into permanent hermitage spending all time with his maker.

Boarding has begun and I must go......
