OSONOS 2005

[Robyn S Berkessel]

Hi Eric,

Eric,
Thanks for the great travel tips, especially about Cape Breton.  I am
heading back there week after next with my husband, Juergen and can't wait.
We plan to camp and bike and kayak and photograph.  Gabriela Ender spent the
weekend with me here "doing" New York (big contrast) having just come from
Cape Breton and had a similar response to you.  Inspiring.  

Nova Scotia.......aaaahhhhhhhhh

Robyn

It's not Chediac where the world class bakery is located. It's Cheticamp.

This being human is a guest house
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honourably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and
invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
		Rumi
