Armour of light

My dear Friends
Travelling 'accross the pond' to say nothing of almost crossing the country,East -West takes a bit of recovery time. So its chillout in a big way,with little expeditions out from time to time. I am enjoying the solitude,and there seems to be an Indian Summer in Cambridge, for which I am grateful, while I nurse my heavy cold. I notice about myself that I gaze at the trees which are definitely changing colour; I guess I feel I am in Canada. My dreams have been a little confused, with some lack of orientation, but when I wake I feel quite calm and reassured that some deeper process is gently moving me on.

There were some really tough patches this time on my trip, but I was rescued by 'the armour of light' which St Paul talks of in his Letter to the Romans. The breastplate of righteousness is another image he uses, this is surely the way we are all trying to achieve, as fellow companions along the way.

Words are not coming very easily at the moment; a good sign which means I am allowing my weakness to come through, so that I can regain my strength in the proper way.

A bientot! And thank you!
Shalom from
Sister Gila

Thank you for being my companions in the last few weeks; writing the Blog has been a great source of strength, whether you made your presence known or not.
