Groveland

Fall                                    New (Dark) Moon

As we approach Samhain, Summer’s End, on October 31st, we begin the new phase of the Dark Moon.  It finds my body healed from the bout of vertigo and relieved that the second round was milder than the first.  May it be so until it disappears.

At Groveland this morning, we had a lively and honest interchange over Groveland’s future.  I’m not sure what direction they’ll take though I have my guess.  It felt good to be in the O.D. role again.  Organizational Development is a skill I have that I use only occasionally.

The day is spectacular, sunny and warmish, a perfect mid-fall moment.

Tomorrow is Kate’s surgery.  It promises to relieve a good deal of her pain. May this, too, be so.

Not to mention that the Viking’s are working over the Ravens right now.

Vertigo Comes Again

Fall                                          Waning Blood Moon

Vertigo is a famous Hitchcock movie, one of his best the critics say.  Maybe so, but I wish it was something I experienced only in movies.  Unfortunately, it has come to visit me again.  I turned my head yesterday morning just after I woke up and said, “Oh, damn.”

This episode was neither as dramatic (I knew what it was.), nor as intense as the first one.  Kate had an opportunity to take care of me, which she liked.  I will have an opportunity to return the favor very soon.

I suppose vertigo was among the spells that visited my ancestors.  With no explanation this would start out as terrifying then gradual descend to a major nuisance.

This morning I have to go into St. Paul to do an organizational development (or de-development) process for Groveland UU.   It will be important to maintain my balance.  (ha, ha)
