Summer is passing quicker than I would have ever imagined. Damn! I am spending my time reconstructing my courses and prepping for fall. Last spring was hard. Lost Felix Ampah and it still hurts. The only saving grace is that I normally do see him during the summer.
No vacations for Bill this summer. We are staying close to home I will be uploading some images soon of our vacation this last spring. Costa Rica wonderful place… even if I don’t speak Spanish.

No, I didn’t disappear… well kinda… I have been playing in the metaverse. A world of non-reality… only too real. More real than one would think. The quote I love was said by Jamie Jervil, “There is no rl only afk.”
So I have been exploring SL… and looking at reality in a different way.
Safe Paths,
Bill

Besides trying to get all my syllabi done and course outlines finished I was asked to speak at Minneapolis Friends Meeting on Sunday, September 3. I was very grateful that my meeting asked me to speak but I was a bit nervous isn’t that always the way.
The biblical quote I chose to center my talk around was from the Kings James Version, 1King 19 11-13.
11-And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:
12-And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
13-And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
Although I am quite taken by the God being found in the small still voice… I am even more taken with the query… What doest thou here, Elijah?
Isn’t that what we should be answering daily? I am often wondering just that. I was born fortunate. Some might look at my life and think not but believe me I am. Some days I might not agree with that statement but even my worst day is blessed with so many advantages.
