Creative and altruistic engine magic!
I feel so lucky.....maybe when life isn’t beautiful or it’s not treating you well either, or the people around you seem strange and mean...darkness can consume me and it feels like it will never end. Suddenly a distraction, an opportunity to make something nice for someone else or just plain the power to move forward and make something beautiful in life apart from all that can be so magically curative.

at a certain point I submit to the work I am doing - I become
a vehicle for it - just as everyone must in their way out there -
that thought of the common experience of just the 'proverbial engine running
in life' I don't feel like I am missing out - I feel in common
and happy - I took the opportunity to rest tonight as I will be conducting Sunday services
tomorrow. I did meal prep- compost hauling and chicken and cat food hauling -
I cleaned up the kitchen table - and now I am in my room. Things are good.
Have a great night - it's hot here !!!-
I think sometimes too, when we can't find something beautiful or positive from our experience, that engine of philosophy
or thought can start churning to manifest some creation - when we lose track of what makes us tick
we can reach out to others with the hope they will help us find that song of our life again (if that makes sense.)
Sometimes we do it for ourselves, Sometimes we do it for our friends or those we're responsible for - like
my parishioners. I told one man the other day to look at all those saints hanging on the wall. They are all cheering you
on in your survival! God is too.. We each are surviving the best we can and to support each other in that effort is a part of life!
He like that idea and he came to me later and said 'that helped me... i can get through this."
