It is so important to fight any element, any moment, of cowardice.

It’s not a matter of “being brave” it’s just standing up, taller and strong, when you know it’s right.

That’s my preaching, my sermon for today.

And, it’s a reminder for me too!

Safer inside the Warren, the maze and the deep forest.

When we talk about the times we travelled in old cars we can hardly imagine owning today, we may forget that mashing metal sound when the engine fell into a seizure of shavings and fragments which though seemingly irreparable were fixed and handy mechanics had us back on the road in the time it took to eat lunch. The cost? Pocket change.

So, do not worry about champagne, enjoy the hooch, the illegally distilled firewater, and toast the friends you shared the road with in years past.

Someone brought apple pie to a knife fight.

That can’t be right. We don’t have such things here and nobody will stand for it.

Well, that’s settled.

So pleased to discover we have people of principle.

Not only that, they’re thoughtful too.

Are you?

Don’t worry you can decide again every day.

Sent in error. But we are so pleased about it.

The result was magnificent.

New friends, much love and a sense of worldly serenity.

We heard a dog bark, saw a hummingbird visit and leave words of comfort, wisdom and encouragement.

Later the same day, the sun warmed even the coldest caves and the deepest oceans.

But in a good way!

Send the piano player my compliments. Could she give me lessons?

Sometimes the perfect teacher is there in front of the sign that says “please take your empty trays to the cashier”.

When the skiing is good sit by the window so you can see the numbers waiting for lift number three.

It’s all new. We are still looking and learning every day. And, that’s a good way to be.

But what we’d like to know is why the cashier would want the empty trays!

Have a sunny evening.
