So tomorrow, despite whatever the weather will be doing, it's back off to the mountains, this time walking into somewhere (Goose Eye Mountain in the Mohoosics?), setting up the tent, hiking Thursday (below tree line because of projected thunderstorms), hiking out and going to the Great Gulf, setting up again, hiking Friday up Mount Adams and then coming out Saturday. At least, that is the plan tonight.
Long day (but good) with seven hours in one-on-one or group meetings.There's a lot of stuff and illness going on in the collective parish population. But one neat thing from today was hearing how someone who has been chewing for a long time on what 'epiphany' really means, figured it out this morning in a way that works personally.
The outside excitment, beyond a father/son combo working on the ramp and the senior warden pruning a lot of saplings out from alongside the house was looking up at my study ceiling and realising that the tile panels were in imminent danger of collapsing on top of my desk. So I got the father to come up and he screwed in a long plank that will hold the unglued tiles up until we decide to take the whole thing down and replace it. (Who knows what is under there! We really don't.)
Now to miggly things before I go. The Anglican World can turn or spin or gyrate without me for the next few days.

Caminante, have a lovely hike in the mountains.
Have a wonderful time, Caminante.
The Anglican world would probably turn a whole lot better if more people (in leadership especially), like you, took a good hike in the beauties of nature to remember another perspective on life and creation -- and to take time apart and breathe.
Caminante -- if you ever come visit the Atlanta area, you must climb Kennesaw Mountain. From it, you can see Atlanta from the same spot Sherman viewed it before he burned it all down. It's an arduous climb nearly straight up (I did it once, and only once), and almost more difficult coming down than going up. I try to imagine men lugging cannons up it, when I could barely make it myself. It's a great hike, and there are two other sections of the park to hike as well. It's better done in the cooler months, though - not in 100-degree heat!
