• YOU DO NOT HAVE TO RSVP, but it is helpful if you do (we have had a couple of occasions in which someone was trying to get into the meeting but could not - If we know you are planning to be there, we may be able to assist if there are issues).
• You are welcome to bring feelings, questions, poems, prayers, ideas, or your silent presence (no one is required to share, everyone's well-intentioned shares are welcome).
• Some meetings begin with a specific topic, some are more free-form. If you have something to share that is "off topic" that is just fine! We go with the flow whenever we can.
• Hope to see you soon!

Frustration and "Neglected Corners of the Soul"

I did not realize I was posting this for MYSELF at least as much as I am  offering it to YOU, but after 3 hours online and on phones to get assistance with updating my "secondary verification" phone number, so as to be able to get in to publish this post, it certainly applies to the management of my current state!

Anyway, I wanted to share with you all a short piece by a fellow Hospice Chaplain, David A. Auten.  If you enjoy reading it, perhaps you will follow his blog for others.  This one is called "Frustration" and it offers a small, sweet and powerful window of opportunity for growing into our personal sense of peace, even when the world does not seem to offer us any.
