Today I sit and write dressed, rather then in my housy outfit. I have important ideas to write about is my attitude. This relates to my talk of last Sunday and its message. The presentation went fine in spite of my almost cancelling it, due to pains in my left leg Friday afternoon. I had walked intensely that morning and therefore I waited to see whether the discomfort would subside and that it did.

My regular friends were in my audience, while the missing ones were kind of expected. I used copies of the mandala image to illustrate how conscious understanding can act as a bridge between opposing traditions or ideologies; more follows under writings header [tomorrow]. We met in the Oval room at the Palliser Hotel with the ten of us, but that did not slow us down in the conversation afterwards.

Yesterday I relaxed after all this preparation for my talk as each one always occupies me quite intensely and this one did more so. That was due to my attempt to explain my journey of talks and discoveries over an eight year period, since my talk ‘In Search of the Sacred’ back in 2006. That talk ended with a ‘charge’ to find our own revelation of the Sacred for our human world today.

In the aft Jack and I met for our regular coffee talk, but it was not quite regular, since Jack asked me to trace the religious experiences and teaching of my upbringing until my present position. That took a lot of talking and explaining, in particular when it came to how the personal god and Existence Divine as revelations, combine.

My computer wants to update again, so I’ll give it a change right now, 9:41am~
