I have always been fascinated by humans, women in particular, who have the capacity and the drive to push their bodies and minds further, higher, faster, longer than us regular folks. I love seeing what’s possible in the human condition and I have always wondered why I don’t seem to have that desire, that nature. I’m curious about where that comes from in the people who spend their lives honing and refining their body so as to make it a true instrument of endurance. I know that a great deal of mental fortitude is part of that kind of life, too. To push past pain, to push past self-generated limitations, to go places and do things no one else has ever done. This is fascinating to me.
First of all, thank you for the subscription. All this crazy technology trying to figure out how to do sign was getting nuts!!
We’ll be reading your other writings, but this one struck a cord. Ever since Meri and I moved permanently to VT last year, we’ve been looking for a spiritual community. You and the little Peru Chuch were a much needed and appreciated door that opened for us.
Ironically we’ve been talking about maybe starting a spiritual discussion group with like minded people that could meet once or twice a month. We belonged to a group like this in CT that met each week for soup, meditation, and spiritual discussion based on a book, poem, song, etc.
We hunger for spiritual community which for us is not found in organized religion as a general rule. (Catholic, Jewish). We agree with you that up here it’s even harder to find but yet the VT backdrop is ideal for it.
We don’t know the congregation that well yet to know if this would be of interest although we suspect it would for some based on informal conversation.
With the long winter almost upon us and the crazy uncertainty of our country right now, spiritual community would be a balm for our souls.
