"An adequate life . . . might be described as a life which has grasped intuitively the nature of all things, and has seen and refocused itself to this whole. An inadequate life is one that lacks this adjustment to the whole nature of things—hence its twisted perspective, its partiality, its confusion." Douglas V. Steere, describing the life of Thomas R. Kelly, in A Testament of Devotion.

It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
Before anyone starts feeling too sorry for me for being isolated in Seattle, I would like to report that two Quakers (from two different meetings even!) invited me to the Folklife Festival this weekend. So even though I am surrounded by boxes and not nearly as packed as I should be, I am going to head over this afternoon to see some Morris dancing. Thanks for the invitations, Linda and Katherine!

Oh I hope you enjoyed it. Folklife is one of my all time favorite things in Seattle - I could spend the whole weekend there, and I did several times.
ReplyDeleteAnother great event to try is the Figgy Pudding Street Corner Christmas Caroling Competition that happens the first friday of December. You really can't miss that one! =)
