Still in Platytera, with the nuns

It’s indeed like a marriage here. Stay emotionally available, do your job and what’s asked of you and all is alright. Simple and easy, I’m attentive and they take notice.



There’s a cosmic hierarchy here



There’s strength in doing what you’re supposed to do, if not always easy to navigate my personal interests. 


And yet knowing this, is knowing myself and that’s a kind of strength and a kind of determination.  Sunday they are ordaining me a priest in the Greek Orthodox Church. All this happens like a big swelling wave.


Carried by the momentum of it.


It’s a lot, i can’t wait to get back to Blue. That is where i will be based according to the elder. Sometimes life chooses you.



Things are good


I was ready to exit and now I’m here. I can’t explain myself.


the Bishop said he wants to get me a Greek citizen.

Wow, that's a lot all at once! How exciting!

You already know the routine, that's a help.

...I really feel funny talking to an ordained priest. Lol

Sounds like you’ve made a great impression on them in such a short period of time. I’m not surprised!

Thanks you guys! It’s all a little overwhelming but grateful. I would be assigned to the monastery where i currently am, so that’s a blessing too. No change aside from different credentials.
