Some days are just like that! Nothing extraordinary. It was a quiet, joy-filled day. I had the opportunity to catch up with a few old friends. I enjoyed some time with my grandson after school. Then Laurie and I attended a wonderful "Tulsa Foundation for Education" banquet as the guests of a dear friend.

So what kept me from my discipline with this site? Hard to say. I'm not too sure yet what the focus is. There have been a few comments posted, but not much interaction. I suppose I had hoped for more, although in truth, I had no reason for such expectations.

So I set aside time each day for some focused reading and reflection. Usually the time leads me to my computer and the thoughts become images and words on the screen. Yesterday, nothing.

So I am living with the ambiguity of my commitment to post regularly and the challenge of deciding whether what I end up writing and posting is forced because of the commitment or an expression of the Spirit that I look for.

This simple act of discernment makes for some anxious moments, although not in a way that causes me any real distress. So, I will keep at it and continue to seek ways to invite the Spirit into this space. I thank those of you that have checked in from time to time and offered expressions of support.

I look forward to exploring opportunities for this endeavor to become a medium for community, collegial conversation.
