catch a falling star

I don't often gaze at the stars, tho I've been out a few times this week looking for my friend's star. I was chatting earlier with another friend about being hit by a meteor and only later discovered tonight is a great chance to see a shower of them, and so wanting to live life to the full, decided to go out and stare awhile. Sadly I spotted none (best at 2am, I can't stay up that long, they were already twinkling more than usual which I suspect is down to tired eyes at this hour). Nonetheless it was beautiful and awe inspiring and I shall endeavour to gaze more often.

Meanwhile yet another friend sent me this ace answer to a question on "What is God":

There's lots I like about this, the fact that none of us can define God, but can talk about our own experiences, which he admits may be delusional, but for Bishop Spong is

"God as the Source of life calling me to live fully, as the Source of love empowering me to love wastefully, and, as the Ground of all Being (to borrow a phrase from Paul Tillich) giving me the courage to be all that I can be."

I am trying to live fully and love wastefully (tho would contest that no love is ever wasted, but I get the drift of abundance and sometimes seeming futility). Sometimes there can be obstacles. It feels as if the house is trying to ask me if I really want to be solely responsible for it - some last challenges before the mortgage gets sorted? In addition to the still unsourced leak, I'm getting increasingly concerned about the hole under the carpet in the lounge which is getting unmistakably larger. When I get chance these next few days I think I'm going to have to get it investigated. And tonight the screws from the loft hatch finally came out despite my patch up job a couple of years back. Again this is going to require a bit more technically competent sorting. Never mind, for now the house is still standing and so am I :) Hopefully only one of us is dancing :D
