Dark Clouds of Memory Loss

Sometimes a call would come in the middle of the night, "Your mother was walking around the mall at 2 a.m. in her nightgown. She's safe. Please come and get her."

A full-security rest home was needed. In New Zealand's beautiful resort town of Rotorura, Pat Darling lived comfortably in a rest home for over 20 years. Gradually, she slipped from occasional lucidity to not recognizing her own family for many years. It is her life in the dark clouds of memory loss that Geoffrey honors through Feet of Memory. His extreme walk from Key West to Maine on historic US Rt. 1 begins on the anniversary of her birth - 17 March.

Allow Geoffrey's walk to honor your loved one also.

Sunday's reflection

Sunday afternoon is a time for reflecting on the sermon  - and getting reading for an hour's training - all we have time for. The sermon seemed so apt - "to those who have been given much, much shall be demanded" - which I have always conceived as  "if you have a lot, you have to give a lot" - so armed with big strong legs and a good memory it's time to get the show on the road - in this case US-1 - and remember all those who did not make age 64 sound enough in wind and mind to even contemplate this. Now we have four board members to make up the requisite for establishing a non-profit business another step's been taken in the right direction. All able and innovative people and with eight months to go there is much to  be done - but Geoffrey's body is calling out for a hard training session at the gym - better answer the call and keep that target steadily in view.
