back in the groove

I say "back in the groove" as if I was, but I'm not. No, no jet lag. It's not that. It's not that I wish I was still in Ireland. I don't really. I loved it but I'm glad to be home. That was more a statement of what I want to do in regard to this blog and writing. But I'm not.

I realy don't know what to write about. It's funny, I always think I have plenty "to say" but I don't know which of these things to say at what time or how. Well, sometimes I do. I have in the past anyway, much more than I have lately. I have been known for "saying" things. And as I said, I have much more to say.

Just recently something I realized about myself and the community of Vine & Branches is that I haven't said enough. I have held back far too much because I have not wanted to be a dictator or to even seem to abuse any authority I might have. This was perhaps noble, but was also, I believe, a mistake. I'm not beating myself up over it, just stating a fact. So, I have come to the conclusion, and this has already begun to some degree, that I must state more things to my community, to teach them more, to write things down more clearly - to write the Rule, and the culture and beliefs of our community. Perhaps it's not always necessary for these things to be written or stated, at every level in the life of a community, but at this time, in our life, it is time for some of it. Perhaps I'll let you in on some of it when it gets to that point.
