Living in the moment?

Thoreau
An interesting discovery… my hotel is on Thoreau Drive… what does this mean, if anything?

Living in the moment? I do not want to get to the end of life and realize I had not begun to live.

Spent the past 24 hours together with friend I haven’t worked with in years. She told me she thinks I really live in the moment.

Am only telling you this because in 53 years, no one has made that specific comment. Wondering if positive change begun in earnest 13 years ago is now noticeable.

It would be easier to not volunteer at Church

lector
a short reading doesn’t mean an easy reading

It would be easier to not volunteer at Church. Children’s Liturgy once a month, Lector twice a month. Add work travel, small business startup, exercise, home ownership, father, husband… So yeah, it would be much easier to not volunteer at Church.

Is this man unbalanced?

Is this man unbalanced? He’s been preaching on this very corner for 12 years, and 30 years total in the French Quarter. Awesome right? And isn’t our body a temple? On a quick, honest glance, does it look like he honors that? Just asking. Greatness in one choice at the expense of another would be like an Olympic athlete, spiritually bankrupt.

His name is Keith and we spoke for a about a minute, while a friend waited patiently – we were on a time schedule.
