I ordered a cappuccino, sat down at the table and opened my book. "It is never too late to give up your prejudices" I read in Henry David Thoreau's Walden.( Mouse sent me this wonderful book a few years ago)
....never too late to give up my prejudices, never too late to start something new.....
The Scriptorium at Munkeby has followed me ever since brother Jöel took me in there. A place for Lectio Divina. A place for reading, writing, praying......silence. A place for playing. With God. Yes, I mean playing, I am not misspelling praying.
God and I love to play. In words and in real life. "It is never too late to give up your prejudices". At the coffee table they became God's words to me. A challenge to play. A challenge to find a new colour.
Yes, God, I am game. I love to play with you. So tell me, what are the rules this time? The rules are up to me? To discover, to create? Oh, give me some time, let me think.....
......may be I can start

My list is long and my smile is broadening as I keep on playing with my list.
Slowly, slowly an idea is being born. A tiny little fetus. Which will be growing if I nurture it.

If you were to start something new, if you were to follow a dream, if only for a few minutes every day, what would you do?
