just a short note...

Hey wonderful folks,

    Just a short note because I'm on my way to the veggie stand, and then a chat to Rosie, followed by a young Quaker potluck (if I'm able to find directions!).  The day has been glorious!  I went with two housemates to the Unitarian Universalists fellowship here in Seattle, and was delighted!  It felt so welcoming and honest to be in a spiritually diverse group, rather than the L'Arche community.  I feel like I can only have energy to appreciate other people's traditions if I have enough time in my own.  This Friday they are having an open mic which I look forward to pickin' at :) 

   Tom's health is still declining, and it continues to be a sacred space. 

   The housemates and I had a fabulous time at El Centro de la Raza's 35th anniversary Gala last night.  They hired us to work at the auction and we were wined and dined in the process, quite the deal!  It was also a hoot for all of us to get dressed up together.  After the event we concluded the evening with what I think will be the first of many confessional story-telling over wine in the living room... The sula house community is reaching the tension points where we are beginning to be sooo real with one another and the challenge of community is now! 

   If you're in the area, we're having a halloween party (with costumes!) Oct. 27th. 

    The past week was tough... in part due to the evolution of one of those pesky romantic relationships (I could say the decomposition of such, but I think it's not spoiling as much as it is changing form).  and sometimes it is tough to watch Tom pass.... but it is always a task commanding such presence.  Overall, I feel I am on the upswing and excited for the week ahead. 

much love,

megs
