RESTLESS NIGHT

Normally, awakening between 3:00 and 5:00 AM is a wasted time struggling between getting back to sleep and making plans for the forthcoming day. This morning was an exception in that I became inspired.

It started with the thought that Mary and I still needed to figure out what we wanted for the window at the EcoCenter down at the Baylands. This is a building the Environmental Volunteers are restoring for the City of Palo Alto in exchange for the use of the building for the next 40 years. We, as donors, were asked to provide some sort of saying that would be placed in one of the porthole-like windows. We have looked at some Native American quotes and I think have narrowed it down to a couple. Anyway with all brain connections zapping I got to thinking about the new center and the celebrations that will happen. Gradually I came to realize that I needed to include some Native Americans to bless the site. Bless it in what way, you ask? Thanks for asking!

GREAT SPIRITS
BLESS THIS SITE
Where ancient people gathered food
and today's people gather knowledge

I am not a religious person but do have spiritual feelings.
