Early to bed tonight I think. I'm weary and will be up early tomorrow for tree work, I think. Shawn and his friend Dan are coing to cut down heavy dead branches, and also to mow. I'm so relieved.

Ruth and Chris and I went to an in house Shabbat service, mostly singing, in a beautiful home in the hills. The focus on connection with God through meditation and music is beautiful, and our host, a brilliant former math prodigy who is recently divorced - shared some of his trnasformative poetry with the group - more with Ruth and me. I hope the group can have meetings in which more of us can share our art - especially growth and spirit related art - like a salon of youre.
