Silent Bob
I did not get to the worm farm today since something not expected came up. I got a phone message from a person at Marquette University Center for Peacemaking saying I would not be allowed to attend the nonviolent book study on Thursday. I felt disciplined enough to keep on working on the fiction piece I am writing and did not respond till tonight after our meeting with Board of Trustees at St. Catherine about the Cry of the Poor Petition.
Just when things slow down something always seems to happen. I am just an introvert lookng inside out and cannot change it, only keep it under control.
I decided to go to the book study group on Thursday dressed as someone would when protesting in a 3rd world country. Check what maybe my costume on this page. If friends join me we can have some fun and throw off the Marquette Security persons on who is Bob.
Tomorrow I am going to a funeral for religious nun who I knew from the Catholic Worker House of Hospitality. To everything she did, be it a prayer vigil for a homicide victim or at a prayer service at the Catholic Worker house she had a smile and put things in perspective. She had a kind way about her. In a world where Americans are concerned about President killing American citizens with Killer Drones but make little of killing children with the drones in Pakistan, having more people like Nan makes everything in life easier.
No matter what may come back our way, death or life, clarity or confusion, mask or unmasked the spirit of Sister Nan can bring us balance and hope that all will be well.
