Well Keeper Reflections

Public·177 Well Keepers

I've anticipated today, July 31, for awhile, thinking I knew just what I wanted to say. It was about how this past week I completed listening to all 509 episodes of OnBeing(.org), a wonderful feeding of my soul and brain that has taken years, and how this is the last week of my first class in Seminary, something I have tried to do three times in the past and now, for the first time have actually gotten in the door. My day was going to be invested in, devoted to, appreciating both of those accomplishments. But like for so many other Well-Keepers, other events crept in. Or stormed in. I live in Guatemala, but still own a house that I love in the foothills west of Loveland, Colorado, not far from Sunrise Ranch, actually. I've lived in that area off and on since 1963, and it has been a real gift. On Monday a wildfire started on Alexander Mountain just west of there, and by now it is up to 6,700+ acres. Like thousands of other people, my tenants have been evacuated. And now we live the exercise of patience, faith, gratitude, tenseness, and probably every other emotion. Our situation is better than many, certainly than so many on the west coast, in Canada, and beyond. I really don't expect to lose the house, and am more concerned for my tenants' home and world than my own property. But it has added an element to my day of wellness that I certainly did not anticipate. So I will leave it at this - I won't deny being distracted and concerned, but it is indeed equally true that I am grateful for many things, too many to spell out here. This year has been one of accepting how life unfolds, and how when I recognize it, which I mostly do, I am amazed that there are miracles at every turn. And so I will continue to watch all of this unfold, delight in the miracles, trust that I will be okay, that those around me will be also, in whatever form that takes. I think recognizing the richness of this Well Keeper endeavor will only help. So thanks, everyone.

Such is the nature of the times we live in where dramatic change and holding steady in the midst of it all seems to be the daily practice! With soooo much love and gratitude for you dearest friend and your amazing life, your presence in the world and your always leaning into new adventures...onward ho to seminary school.
