I know my goal was to go once, but really I wanted to go once so I would get back in touch with the spiritual part of my life, with a loving community of seekers, and perhaps find support for other parts of my life. Today I went even though last night I’d not been sure I wanted to. I’m hurting so much right now my instinct is to withdraw from people. But I knew it would be better for me not to do that and that I’d probably be glad I went. Well, I went and I’m glad. I enjoyed the silent worship, the spiritual journey program, met more nice people, got inspiration and motivation, and even found a support group, another goal on my 43 things! I may well find a solution for my future housing there, too.

Oh, seeming like a special reward for getting out in the world today…I saw a coyote and young deer in the fresh snow on the way to Meeting and stopped to take pictures for my nephew, who I’d promised snow pictures last night.
