As I stood in front of 10 girls, in class, in my underwear, my only thought was, “There is most certainly a blog entry in this.”
Matthias had called and asked if I would be interested in donating my body to some girls for an hour. ”Yes”, seemed the obvious response.
And so I enjoyed a great massage from the University Beautician students. While on the table it occurred to me how it all works.
We have suddenly found ourselves living in this incredibly wonderful community where helping one another is taken to an all new level.
Janine and I have marveled at the ease with which we have dropped into a community of friends here. In Europe, where groups of friends are tight, it is not always so easy to be a newcomer.
Then Igor said it the other day, “In Italy you help your friends and you will be helped. The two of you have done this, and you have been welcomed.”
It was the same in our old community of Bishop where we also found friends doing things for one another that was above and beyond the call of friend duty.
It is truly a wonderful way to live. I feel that when you have found yourself amongst these people and this way of living, you have found a home.
Tonight I am off to teach an Adobe Lightroom class, free for friends, and all my pleasure.
