help holydays r ova

A blank screen
An empty thought
The possibilities are endless and
Wonderful
Like you
Like me
What fills you with hope?
What fills you with joy?
My passions
My love
You know well from this bloog
And if you read this
Something here is helpful to ya
This week I will return to my place of
employment
I will rise early
Spend my day away from loved ones
My home
Return
Tired stressed worn beside my self
Recuperate slightly
Sleep a dreamless sleep of the dead
And then begin this karmic cycle
The next day
There must be a better way
Mammon is indeed a hard and difficult master
Becoming ourselves not anyones priority
Giving my littlies the best of myself
Beyond our control
Seeking peace
Love
Hope
Fulfilment
Joy
Way down the list
I worry.
A lot.
And in this oasis’ of peace from my daily grind
I become mystic again
Creative
Loving
And now
More than ever
I fear losing this once more
As I return
To work
Something has to give
We can’t do it
Have it
Be it all
But I can have the things that matter
You see, I’m doing my own therapy here!
Be grateful for what I have
See each moment with new eyes
Love with all my heart
And hope
Any more ideas
Dear friends?

rite ritual catholicism and doing lenten penance

so here's where the truth comes out many of you know that I was received into the catholic church nearly 5 years ago now at New Norcia Easter 2002 it was majestic and beautiful the right thing for me in all ways and then... finding a catholic home has been harder than i could have ever thought i love the monks the liturgy the silence the sacramental life the beauty of the worship a noble simplicity but local parishes give me the whoops good liturgy in Perth is hard to find... so i drifted back to my wife's parish whilst i couldn't stand the "worship" the new minister is a good guy accepted me for what i am and needed my help for ideas about the church year and structuring services and taize and all that is good and great and i felt needed and useful but... in that lies the rub. not finding what I need but just putting up with where they need me not being true to my confirmation beliefs especially eucharistically but settling for something else than what i believe

december heart

my soul is tired but my hands want to keep being busy my mind restless but full of plans the days of christmas and summer stretch before me like fresh paper a beach in winter a monks cell these days of opportunity a paradox to not do: is to heal is to just be: frustrating leaving the year behind and moving forward a challenge. Sleep. Wine. Silence. Prayer. Zen. Friends. Walks. Love. My solution.

Mad Men 101

Thanks to a conservative blog for peace I have become quite intrigued by with US series “Mad men”. For most Australians this is quite an unknown program, the second series being premiered this Sunday night on specialized broadcaster SBS, leaving us well behind the US which is currently airing the fourth series. For those who don’t know, Mad Men takes place in the early 1960’s, varying its setting between the main characters Advertising office workspace, their homes and social lives. As the series progresses we discover that the characters are not at all what they seem, both outwardly and inwardly, as we journey with them through the historical events and changing social patterns which have influenced so much of our modern culture. It is this historical element which captured me. The ways husbands, wives and children inter-related. The constant smoking and drinking. The more relaxed pace of life. Infidelity and the subsequent risks and consequences. Psycho-analysis just beginning
