Saturday Morning At Central Park's Toddler Playground

Now I have time to think back across the last ten days.

July 23: We travelled by car for the nine to ten hour car trip from Michigan to New York arriving at Jeff and Kendra's place in early afternoon. Kendra, Emmet, Jon and I headed to Harlem to take a tour of the affordable housing building where Kendra has spent much time and energy making it a reality. Jeff joined us for the tour. It makes me so proud of Kendra and the work she does to see this building.

July 24: Emmet, Mamo and Dadeo went to the Toddler playground at Central park while Jeff and Kendra took a break. Later in the afternoon we went to MOMA for an exhibition on climate change: Rising Currents (see exhibitions). On our way home, we stopped for a bite to eat at a Turkish restaurant.

Two weeks to go

Part of the pilgrim journey is staying true to the preparation. How is the spirit calling me this time to prepare?

There is this feeling, this way of knowing that the pilgrim journey of 2005 continues for me five years later in 2010. I am building upon what was started with my 2005 pilgrim journey.

My frequent journeys back and forth to Ireland since 2005 have been healing me, shaping me, preparing me, for the next stage of my life.
