Sun Energy = Sleep no more

After a longer than usual rainy spell (for here, anyway, very usual for PNW), the sun is finally out, with all of the energy that brings. The season for hibernation, fermentation, rumination is over and now time for implementation. More simply said, it's time to get moving, get active and put all the stuff that my head has been mulling over into practice. This means getting out into the garden, making conscious changes at work, and being nice to myself and others.

The Scholar still continues her activities, though, and on the church side, our group is reading Donald Miller's Blue Like Jazz, a down-to-earth episodic exploration of Christian spirituality; on the personal development side, reading Carolyn Myss' Sacred Contracts; starting in on Bruce Chilton's Rabbi Jesus, close on the heels of Thomas Cahill's Desire of the Everlasting Hills: The World Before and After Jesus. This last one is listed in a great bibliography on Rob Bell's Nooma site, found as a result of his videos which we are watching in our church life group (see Donald Miller above).

All good stuff to keep one "salty".

Also--some big changes going down at work which will stretch and test me--I'm ready.
