Mark, I appreciate your words each week. Revelation is tolerable with your help. i did get and read "See no Stranger" Wow! Thanks for the suggestion. I had just read Caste before that. am 82 and a De La Salle Christian Brother (Roman Catholic Lay-Religious). I am a live-in volunteer at our nursing home in Lincroft,, NJ. I'm still a help! Also I have a 'book circle' that meets weekly with some lay folks from the area. We read together spiritual books like Richard Rohr's and Cynthia Bourgeault's.

I ask for three readings: one before I read to them and one after I read to them. We stop over what I or they need to look at. It is really group spiritual direction. I am a 40 year novice of centering prayer and find my' contemplative sit' extending since the pandemic and my retirement. I am loving spring. I originally am from Blackinton MA and many of my relatives worked at Williams College. My aunt Catherine Winn was the Assistant Registrar. She never worked anywhere else. I'm a 'mountain man.' My last ministry was facilitating a small retreat house in Narragansett, RI. Thanks for your 'Ordinary Mystic' thoughts. I look forward to whatever is next! your brother, John McMahon
