Hello. It has been many days since I have written; either here or in my journal. What a pity. I find that my life fills up with things I don't like, simply because they are easier than what I love. Praise Jesus that we are called to his glory and to our fulfillment and not to the things we tend to do. It has been beautiful here in the Sierra foothills - a false spring. The oaks know that it will still freeze again, still snow. The manzanitas have been fooled, their delicate upside-down-cup blossoms are longing to open up, and our small pots of herbs-cilantro, oregano, parsley and basil-are all thriving in their infanthood.

Hamba kahle (go well)
