Evening -

The fog is in, and the wind is blowing.  My book group met in Walnut Creek today and it was even chilly there.  Our book was Truth and Beauty by Anne Patchett and we had a touching discussion on friendship and what it means.   Penny kept us well-fed and it was a lovely day.   I sit tonight with news from a friend's nephew who is in Kenya working in an orphanage, helping children with AIDS.  There is so much challenge in the world.  I continue to see it is how we meet what we can each day.  We have to move out of judgment, while being very clear in our own path and integrity.  May our hearts continue to break open as we meet what comes.
