I am looking forward to The Saturday Club's trip to the estuary of Padilla Bay. Our days get so filled with busy events, it is refreshing to think of a quiet walk, looking out over the water, noting the wild life we see. The big birds fly past, and settle quietly on remnants of old piers. We can give ourselves some time for what Dag Hammarskjold calls "the real world."

"A sunny day in March. Within the birch tree's slender shadow on the crust of the snow, the freezing stillness of the air is crystallized. Then - all of a sudden- the first blackbird's piercing note of call, a reality outside yourself, the real world." by Dag Hammarskjold in his book "Markings"

There are times when we need to give ourselves permission to leave the day to day noise and business and immerse ourselves in this "real world."
