After what looked like an inauspicious start with work avoidance on my mind, I have spent a brilliant day creating the draft Rule for St. Columba House Community. It is still very embryonic but it feels good to see thoughts all down in one place and in some order. It now needs to go out to people with a possible interest in setting up community to see how it needs to be honed and revised.
The day was made complete with a brilliant call from a most special friend; one of those people you can depend on because they know you inside out at the deepest level; someone I think of most days - but rarely call - the mutual excuse of busy lives I guess and not wanting to be a nuisance. We caught up and collected thoughts. We slotted back into a previous groove but with new experiences and wiser perceptions of oursleves and others. We chewed over the Church and society - and realised there was still just enough time to change the world - if we chose to. I enjoyed myself hugely. I won't leave it for ever to return his call.
My son has arrived home from special school. He is 'attached' to his computer playing Sims Pets II and giggling away as dogs in high heels with attitude - fight - and that's just the boys as far as I can see. He seems comfy enough and has slotted back into things. The most miffed in the household on his return will be the cats who sleep on his bed all night when he is away!
