| 313 | 26 "A succession of very unhappy people, nothing to do with me" ! |
| 314 | 27 ??? hedonism. |
| 313 | 28 |
| 29 Faithfulness: What does it feel like to be faithful, how do I know | |
| 30 what is an authentic spiritual impetus? | |
| 31 | |
| 316 | 32 Keep practicing a life as ministry; Remember the principle of Act as If. |
| 313 | 33 |
| 34 Look for a feeling, and look at the fruits. | |
| 35 | |
| 36 Holy moments, right place/right time, a _thin_ place | |
| 37 | |
| 38 Good questions to ask about authentic decision making | |
| 39 | |
| 40 Amish decision: does this build community? | |

| 315 | 44 *Day 1* |
| 314 | 45 ---------- |
| 46 | |
| 47 Be prepared to wait. Sometimes one has to just get out of the way. | |
| 48 | |
| 49 G. MacLeod: "I don't believe in coincidences, but when I stop praying | |
| 50 they stop happening". | |
| 51 | |
| 52 "Fold the wings of the intellect" | |
| 53 | |
| 54 "God is reached by love, not navigation" Augustine | |
| 55 | |
| 56 ---------------- | |
| 57 | |
| 58 But sometimes pain is just painful... | |
| 59 | |
| 60 "There is a power and presence by which we live" _The_ Quaker | |

| 64 | |
| 315 | 65 -------------Rules---------- |
| 311 | 66 |
| 315 | 67 What is the aim of the spiritual life: to realise the full potential |
| 68 of my humanity. | |
| 69 | |
| 70 Noticing how we sabotage our best intentions | |
| 71 | |
| 72 *Day 2* | |
| 73 | |
| 74 ----------Rule for me------- | |
| 75 | |
| 76 Substantive, realistic, ministry | |
| 77 | |
| 78 [use positive language] | |
| 79 | |
| 80 How without a community? | |
| 316 | 81 |
| 82 If I'm not keeping a rule maybe _it_ needs to change | |
| 83 | |
| 84 Don't set oneself up to fail "I have not gone after things to great, | |
| 85 or marvels beyond me". | |
| 86 | |
| 87 QF&P/A&Q as a rule: how to make it more personal [substantive, | |
| 88 realistic, ministry] | |
| 89 | |
| 90 What's already underway w/o problems may not need to be in there... | |
| 91 | |
| 92 Be careful about inviting ways to work around bits | |
| 93 | |
| 94 Use the stairs as a physical cue, morning and evening, to set the | |
| 95 day's goals; to acknowledge the goods/fallings short. | |
| 96 | |
| 318 | 97 Thich Nhat Hanh puts value on 'solidity': that resonates, but what |
| 98 _is_ it? | |
| 99 | |
| 100 St. Francis: "[E]liminate the ways we may manipulate others to ur own | |
| 101 ends." | |
| 102 | |
