A BEGINNING FOR TODAY (in seven steps): I would like to order things so that I can feel all of a piece spiritually. (From Flannery OConnors Prayer Journal) 1. Necessities and Rituals: Bathroom to tinkle, Ginger goes out for the same -- Start the coffee -- 2. Awake the mind: Read a poem or two (Mary Oliver) -- 3. Awake the senses: Sip coffee, nibble (maybe), peer outside, read the paper -- 4. Break the silence: Feed Ginger (crunch, crunch, crunch, slurp - noisy!) -- 5. Awake the spouse: Coffee in bed, morning talk, read together -- 6. Break the Fast: (Not as mechanized as Wallace and Gromits breakfast) -- Shower, dress, take Ginger out for short walk - get ready for church. 7. Keep calm: Search house for missing keys to car! Somewhere between 2 & 3 I start talking to God. Somewhere between 3 & 5 I get on Facebook Somewhere after 7 I look really good.
