Already inspired

As I sit in the gorgeous roof garden, listening to what sounds as a Greek version of a Spanish version of an American song (?), overlooking the sea as the sun sets a brilliant orange, I am amazed (oh wait, now it’s a Sting song (“on-and-on”— how appropriate!), I am filled with amazement at the beauty and diversity in every way. So many types of people, as the light goes down. How fragile we are, as Sting says. I am working on my parts of the program and not get distracted by the multitude of humanity all around me. Not easy! But beautiful .

I am already inspired by it all. And the program hasn’t even started.:-)

Thessaloniki.... so many ways to say it

Well, I am here! 15 hours, 4 airports, almost missing last flight (I must have fell asleep in Munich becase I heard what sounded like my name in my dream. next thing, I am running to make the plane and they closed door behind me... whooo. adventure. It is lovely here. Chilly but Sunny Everyone is gracious. met with the Vital Voices impressive facilitators for rooftop breakfast and we hiked up to see a Sunday morning ancients cathedral, complete with peacocks, chickens and lots of felines. Nap, then reconfigure for tomorrow’s program. #smellslikehoney #grateful #openheart #opensenses
