My Preaching

Heading west until I came to the canyon,
I remember I didn't get here
A year ago. I was going to meet Kathleen here,
once more at this place before
she died.

Having been called here,
I stayed long enough to reverence this place
and these memories
and this call
and this life..

This morning started in Denver at our novitiate. It is the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, from The Gospel of Luke 2:22-40.

One of the reasons for driving out West is so that I could stop and see my sister Kathy and her family in Fort Collins, Colorado.

I started out from the Ashram in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on the shore of Lake Michigan.

At the end of the day, everyone heads back down the mountain to Agua Caliente, most to catch their respective train back home.
