Catching Up by Leung
I am slowly realizing that I will never catch up with all I want to do. So the best thing, it seems to me, is to do what I can do to the best of my ability and not to forget to allow time for just being.
However, I did a little catching up today. Here is an update:
I got the article on Money or Morals out to some people today and invited them to participate with us at our next nonviolent action at Marquette in Lent to stop military training for war at this Catholic, Jesuit campus. If people check out this article they might also see the featured article on www.nonviolentcow.org on Making War by war hero and cleric Dr. Bowman.
Now that the cold days of winter seem to be fading I planted some more salad seeds in the GP box in the sunroom and in containers below it. Salad is something we keep planting and eating all year around inside and outside.
When I was preparing to send my posting and picture last night on the Art of Indian Cooking to my friend Dr. Kranthi in India, I noticed that she had already sent me a response and grade on my cooking of the vegetable curry recipe she had sent me. The grade was 100. You can see her actual comment on the bottom of the post.
Tonight it was just my son and I for dinner, so I cooked some frozen fish we had gotten from the Share food program. But I did make an extra-special salad, or as my Lebanese mom called it, salada, that I knew was good when my son finished it all off.
If I seem to be congratulating myself in this posting, I am. Like every day I had some failures and made some mistakes. These I am not talking about, but I try to learn from them. As the poet Robert Bly said a long time ago “Man is made to make mistakes” and as Sean Penn said last night on the ‘Travis Smiley Show’ the important thing is to learn from our mistakes.
So another day and the more I do the more there is to do. Now if I can only learn to ‘be’ more I will make fewer mistakes on the pilgrimage of life. I might never catch up till I die but so what?
