safe enough

hi maggie,

it's one-handed hunt and peck tonight. i have a sleeping baby on my lap.  i karaoked her to sleep!  (is that a verb?)

thank you for the s#4 update. and your news is good, too - medically.

tears are cleansing.  you probably  "recognized" your new colleague.  perhaps you'll be able to connect sometime in the future.

on saturday i am going to an extended meeting for worship. it will be 3 hours of silent worship in the morning, then another hour or two after lunch - of either silent worship or worship sharing.  i'm nervous - can i be still for 3 hours?  i'm expectant - spirit should have time to speak.   we're going to do it again in october, in case you are interested.

so i attended a committee meeting last night.  at one point we discussed "safe".  are we ever safe? it hit a cord with me, because i often have a generalized sense of not being safe.  i'm always waiting for something to come out of the dark, or bad news to come from someplace unexpected.

part of life is - no guarantees.  we are never completely safe, completely protected.

last night we talked about "safe enough".  are we safe enough?  is safe enough enough???

i've been thinking about safe enough.  safe enough draws in the element of faith.  i am here.  i belong here.  i'm okay.

i wonder if being raised "safe enough" teaches us to trust "safe"?

if i create a safe place, then let go and trust the universe...is that it?  is that enough?  is that what we are supposed to do?

keep me posted on your training program...


love and hugs from clare
