Dialogue with my muse |
JOE: Good morning Calliope. CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. Have you finally returned to your regular schedule? JOE: We'll see. The answer is yes for the moment. CALLIOPE: Did your weekend adventures provide all you expected? JOE: They did. A couple from Spiritus Christi invited my brother and me for dinner Saturday. CALLIOPE: How did that go? JOE: Quite well. We learned more about the history of the community which has been in existence for about ten years now and is going strong. CALLIOPE: Any revelations? JOE: I was concerned that they might have some confining dogmas which might give me second thoughts. I thought I might want to just stay with the experience and not try to make too much sense of it. CALLIOPE: And? JOE: Discussing it did not provide any such difficulties. It is a community which offers support for acting in a Christian way without the onerous burdens I formerly carried as a Roman Catholic and which eventually drove me from their fold. CALLIOPE: And then? JOE: My brother and I and our girlfriends attended the Spiritus Christi service Sunday morning and felt totally immersed in their fellowship and community. CALLIOPE: It sounds like you have found a new spiritual home. JOE: I think so. We are trying to let it develop naturally without forcing anything. Talk with you tomorrow. |
