At the chanting last night a reading from an un-named Hopi elder's message for the New Year ... the time for renewal is at hand ... time for the lone wolf to rejoin the pack ... time to leap fearlessly into Life's mid-stream flow, away from the security of the bank, to stop taking things personally, especially oneself ... a message for the world strongly resonating ...
Buddhist readings today reaffirm this metaphor of the mid-stream flow, away from the shallows, where the water often goes in circles ...
Meanwhile, the brief period of cloud and showers gives way to Sun ... yet the weather, in the end, is not the most important thing ... building on social capital earned over years, revisiting relationships more established than the interesting but transitory encounters along the trail ... all pointing to Stanhope again ... when, the only real question ...
