Had a great phone chat with a friend on a number of soulful topics.
On the way back I talked to a woman by a modest home facing the water, and asked if it was hers. It was her dad’s.. His wife had lived her last days there.. and his children realized that the property was subdividable .. so they built their home right behind. Now they are enabling their dad to enjoy the final days in his own home.
After biking up Sinclair Hill ( steep) I talked to some BMXers, who would never leave their bikes unattended.. even locked they want to be in visual contact. Very informative chat. More great spirit
Dropping off a friend at the airport turned into a series of remarkable conversations, including picking up a woman hitch hiking from the airport to the shuttle ( we went to the downtown bus station instead). So many insights were shared in all 4 or 5 conversations took place. Here is one comment by an employee of a electronics store that exemplifies the flow he gets in working with customers all day.
Sharing a 12 minute ride ( journey) is a great opportunity to have a wonderful conversation. This was an instance when a friend was willing to tell the story a second time and have it recorded while we drove. She talked about helping 8 year old strangers deal with the loss of their mothers.. Her inspired response to the situation resulted in a life -long friendship between one of the girls and herself.
Hearing how people deal with grief is so helpful.
One elderly mother said her strength and resolve to carry on .. to involve herself with community and adventure was because ‘ I had to be a good example for my boys’. It was my caculation, they would have been between 50 and 65 themselves at that point.
I was definitely feeling “mothered” by both women and men. I was sure my mom was being cared for as well. We are all made to express that motherly, brotherly love. It’s natural. We love others and it comes right back to us.

What is it about sunsets? One of my intentions now is to ride up the Mt Tolmie to view the sunsets each day. It’s a rush.. both for the exercise, the conversations that often take place, and the beauty. Sunsets around the world act like a magnet. People love an end-of-day ritual.

So I am talking to this man, a co-volunteer, and he is relating elements of his life story. And then he comments on the fact that he grew up in a religious home where regular Sunday church attendance was routine but no longer is a church person. Then he pauses and seems to be searching for just the right words to convey his next thought. He proceeds with some words to the effect that he still knows the the universe is filled with goodness. Despite some aberrant behaviour on the part of some few people the universe is goodness itself. Not just the earth nor the solar system nor even the galaxy but the universe. That says it all. No more need be said.
