Ten, maybe twenty, years go by when I'll find it again, and it'll be just what I need at the moment. Coincidence?

I love stories about journeys. Anything that is like a pilgrimage interests me very much. I feel I am always searching, and I want to learn from others who are searching, starting at one point and ending up somewhere else and learning a lot in between.

In addition to being a school teacher, you are a teacher of lifes wonders to many of us who read your blog. when there is a book you are enjoying, I go away with enthusiasm and find a book for myself. When you have one of your homely moods, I do too! and something in my house gets rediscovered and re-loved and cherished. If only you lived in my road and we could sit and chat and drink your lemonade and my tea and wander in the woods - well, in spirit we can. I have been using the gift I told you about by the way, it has been acknowledged and used and is good for others but maybe not so for me and I do have a sense of self preservation being only human! Blessings to you and your family for New Year.

What is Almond Roca? This quote on community is absolutely key to everything I've been trying to learn about community for the last two years. Please discuss! And I'n off to Amazon now to look up Mount Joy. Alan bought me David Nicholl's One Day and I read it in a day and cried at the end- find it!
