Continuing On... Continued

Much has occurred in just over one year. Much growth. Much trouble.

CPE has come and gone. I did my clinical work at a hospice and convalescent facility near Austin and drove to Robbinsdale for class and group work every week. I put on about 5,000 miles and clocked 400 hours in clinical and class work. The work was good but hard.

Classwork this year has been more rigorous but I enjoyed it all the same. When classes overlapped I really felt the pinch. Ouch.

Standing Committee was a test. A test that is ongoing. Difficult. Necessary.

Cohort is good. Getting to know these friends is so good. These are becoming vital and real friends and colleagues. We share highs and lows every month. Not always easy but always worthwhile.

Internship at Emmanuel has been good. I’ve really enjoyed myself but the time has gone by too quickly. Stretched myself a bit but what I’ve been doing feels like what I should be doing.

This year, from summer to summer, has been tough. At times I thought I was sinking. It’s been grim at times but throughout I’ve heard the voice, felt the presence, and sensed the call.

Much left to do. Much left to learn. Much left to experience. Much left to hear, feel, sense. Transformation is not easy.
