The Second Day


On the morning of our second day, Linda prepared a most wonderful meal of bacon, eggs, English muffins, and I even tried a blueberry jam, it was incredible! 

Dad took Abbie for a walk and I joined.  We walked a little over a mile and a half.  We walked along the beach of Casco Bay on the East side.  I found an assortment of shells and pieces of shells.  Their shapes, colors and textures spoke to me.  Some would make great prayer/meditation/worry stones… others are simply beautiful. 


We passed a new house being built.  It was not a “traditional” house (like the rest on the island) it was very contemporary, square, lots of windows (in fact 80% of the front of the house IS windows!)  Some had the opinion that it just didn’t fit. Others didn’t mind.  Nonetheless, the house is built, sometime soon someone will be living there.  And life will go on.

Life will go on.  That was the message I got from this walk.  No matter what you like or don’t like, what fits or does not fit, what dies and what lives, life goes on, and on and on…  If you look at most any city, there is old surrounded by new surrounded by old, surrounded by new…  Life is like that as well.  The circle of life that we are surrounded by is just that, old surrounded by new, surrounded by…

Let us all live with more intention…  Being intentional about how we live, how we share, how we love, how we make life better for ourselves and in turn for others…


We can be the change we seek in this world, and in ourselves. 
One day.  One journey.  One person, at a time.
May peace, love and compassion be with you…AND from you!
