Blog of the Grateful Bear

ramblings of a freelance panentheist {"all things are in God, and God is in all things"} . . . musings on Emergent spirituality, powerlifting, LGBTQueer issues, contemplative prayer, mysticism, cats, music, healing, and more. I like my coffee and my existentialism dark-roasted.

My writings on queer spirituality have been published in Whosoever and several other magazines. I live in a house-in-the-woods (Bear's Hermitage) in Marietta with Leonidas (Lenny) and Guy, Mighty Warrior Cats, and way too many books.

Blogging Break

I'll be taking a break from blogging for the next several days. I'm going up to a retreat center near Asheville, NC, for the 5-day leadership institute of the Sufi Healing Order. I'll be learning more about prayer, meditation, and healing in the Sufi tradition. I probably won't have access to a computer for 5 days, unless I drive into Asheville and use the computer in the cafe at Malaprop's Bookstore. It's a safe bet I'll visit Malaprop's at least once (after all, they have books, organic coffee, and also books, all 3 of life's necessities), but I'll probably be looking at books and drinking coffee, not sitting at the computer...

Hope that you'll pass along some good nuggets of wisdom upon your return. You really live your life - I love to see the wide spectrum of your interests. Whenever I'm feeling particularly grumpy about people (you know, people in general - people one at a time are fine), I visit your blog and 3 or 4 others and remember that there are all sorts of networks of spirit after all. Thanks as always.

Ah - sounds wonderful. I hope you do take a break from technology - these retreat opportunities don't come up so often and they're very precious Hugs, dear Bear
