Ash Wednesday:
Steve and I went to Ash Wednesday services today and we gladly walk around with our "smudge". We had not been to Mass in years and it felt so good to be there again in our own "home" church, St Joseph the Worker Church in Berkeley. I still miss Father Bill and Father George and Sister Evelyn but blessedly the body of the Mass goes on and on for each season and Sunday and Holy day. Today there seemed to be more people than I remember in years past-this for the English speaking Mass. The Spanish speaking community are much more numerous and they seem to have much much more fun than do we the English speakers.
I think that my brief "romance" with a beloved childhood friend is over. she routinely never writes or even responds and I finally am accepting this. Yesterday she wrote back about Obama turning us to a socialist nation and taking away all of our free choice and something in me just turned off-for those of us who are Socialist Obama is so far from this and even his feared and hated medical plan is not socialism but rather an attempt to cover us as medical expenses climb as high as the redwood trees.
