So here we are, Sunday afternoon not a worry in the sky. I'm resting. I've got everyone in my life telling me I need to rest though it might as well be the "F" word to your average Italian. See I've been raised and formed and molded to the concept that Work = Worth. The more you work, strive, fight, kick and claw your way to success in this world... the more your worth. So the past 3 days have been interesting because I've really not done much as I've been comparitively idle. In observing Gary for the past 72 hrs I've noticed one thing... He doesn't care. He doesn't care where he's moved, whats for dinner, whats on TV or for that matter what I or you think. He just is. Planted firmly in the soil taking up whatever water or food it is given or not given. This Monday starts a new step in my spiritual journey to understanding Christ. For 3 days I will be pulling from the soil which quite frankly I've never done before. I think the timing is correct and I am glad I have a expert companion whose accustomed to doing life like this. My prayer for the week will be for God to adjust my palate to the living soil and not of the dead immediate. Thanks Gary.
