Today is a little different, because I decided not to go to Jack on account of my walking restrictions. That also was the reason that I did not attend yesterday’s Sunday lecture by Herman. Elisabeth was so kind to stop by and inquire after my health. Thanks Elisabeth, that was much appreciated.

So, I kept quiet over the weekend, but I did visit John and Annie, whom I interviewed for a little sound clip for April’s egg painting entry in the 2012 review that I am working on and which I posted Saturday aft. Now I am ready to do the rest of the year and that is where Jack’s photos of our mutual birthday would be posted for September I think.

I worked on some ideas for my upcoming talk ‘My Belief so far’, but did not put anything down in writing. Sunday night I coloured some more portions on the ‘Integration Mandala’ - as I call it now - from 1973. I spent several hours on this and am making slow progress. I take pictures of my colouring work as I go and may just post a few in the next few days.

Today I will see how far I get with the 2012 Annual Review and also make a written outline for my mentioned talk. My challenge here is to emphasise the most important aspects and make it also of practical value to my audience on Sunday and to the reader as well.

A last note for this day, is that I am starting to realise that I need to let go of my books. I only refer to a few of them for my talks, in which I have shifted emphasis from showing historical development, to explaining a belief frame work relating to our global community today.

My interests and concerns are now about the implications of incorporating the various human traditions into the overall concept of ‘Existence Divine’. You could say that I have switched ‘from research to message‘, to put it succinctly - I just look for opportunities to use that word!
