Good Friday

Friday, March 21.  What a second day of spring!  We got about 6 inches of snow in a hurry today.  Driving was very touchy, but as usual it's very pretty when it snows this much.  I think this might be the last of the season, so we might as well enjoy it before it's summer.  

Otherwise, today was a day of getting some things done.  I delivered meals again, went to work for a few minutes, and delivered my transcript and resume to the MBA office at the University of Michigan Business School.  

What was new today was going to a Catholic Church on Good Friday.  Now of course I'm not a Catholic, nor do I think I'm anything really, except spiritual.  But Paula invited me to just go sit in church and spend a little time there.  It was nice.  Quiet and beautiful.  There was no service going on, just some people there to worship on a holy day for Catholics.  I decided to meditate and feel my breathing.  Being in a church helped my ability to focus on my breath, I think, and my mind felt quite quiet.  Now of course our minds are never totally quiet, but today I felt moments where there was not much going on in there, and that felt good.

In the end, I think all religions are very similar, or at least point us in similar directions.  My experience today wasn't moving in any sort of religious way, but did give me some feelings that were similar to when I've been in a Buddhist Wat.  Peace.  Calm.  Quiet.  Faith.  All good things.  All in all, I'm glad for the experience and of course it does fall into the category of something I've never done before.

A side note on posts.  You notice that my posts are getting sometimes late or short or different that others in the past.  This too I suppose is part of the process.  My change, in many ways.  I will try to keep as current and as interesting as I can, but as I get closer to my trip to Thailand, there may be gaps.  But not to worry, this will continue.  There WILL BE 180 things in 180 days!  Later all.  Have a good day or night and we'll talk later.
