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.

Return from Tybee Island


I'm back from a 4-day sojourn with my friend Donnie to Tybee Island and Savannah, sunburnt lobster-red on both arms and part of one leg. The highlight of the trip was having lunch with two blog-friends that I have known for several years through email and phone calls but had never actually met in person until now. Here we are on River Street, three of the world's greatest bloggers: Tommy/Isaiah (isaiah knows nothing), Grateful Bear, Trev Diesel (The Sound of Diesel Musing). Tommy and Trev, along with another of the world's greatest bloggers, Jon Zuck (The Wild Things of God), are part of a great new website about music and spirituality, RockOm. Check it out!

Here are a few scenes of Tybee Island, including me in the motel pool, squinting in the sunlight. The top photo is from the back deck of Cafe Loco, my favorite restaurant on Tybee Island (the arrow pointing into the water says "Our Shrimp come from Here"):

I'm SO jealous! When I lived in Atlanta I would vacation on Tybee and in Savannah. Absolutely loved the place. (sigh)

Looks like you had a great time, Bear. Hope the sunburn goes away soon, and glad you got to meet the world's greatest bloggers, hugs, Mystical Fool

I'm jealous too! I still haven't met Trev and Tom... but I'm glad you have! Thanks for the mention, but don't forget Zach Young who's an ESSENTIAL part of the RockOm team.
