So, I scooped up some of your words as company and didn't consider the time away complete until I had 'cake'...ok, it was a Blondie at Ruby Tuesdays, my favorite, so that counts, eh? Thanks then, for the condiments and the dessert....Yummy, Yippee, Allelujah, Amen. I came across this essay days before leaving on a retreat of my own; there was enough resonance to shiver me.

Sometimes it's more like a throat-clearing "eh-hem!" or a pointy tap on the shoulder. And on rare occasions it is a big ol' shout (involving both lungs and an arm waving gesture). After reading your entry today I just want to tell the H.S., "All right already! I get it! Wake up and have some cake!" Thanks for being a megaphone from the Divine, Jan.
