Saturday and lots of people on the trail. Few section hikers but most are just out for the day. Many conversations and gave out most of my bracelets. I should have made bracelets with the blog url since many want to follow along. The bracelets I have are what I pass out frequently in Seattle and have the url to the Order of Saint Francis.
Mary, my wife, claims to have used all our data for the month on our celluar phones. Tried to upload a few pictures but they all timed out. No connection at tonight’s spot.
There is something about going in one direction. Training was a loop or out and back. Wednesday nights was always up, feast, and back down the same trail. Looking backwards feel different. Unsure there more to say about it now.
I wonder how many miles Brother Francis walked? All over Europe and to the Middle East.
Today is the first day I did not see or hear a helicopter. The wall is ugly and more about a watchful eye then a physical barrier. Every hour, twenty four hours a helicopter goes by. First few nights I would wake up when they flew directly overhead. Someday it will not be needed and there is much work ahead to make that so. Maybe there will be one day I do not hear a jet flying over. They only seem to fly every few hours.
First hole in my habit today. Also have one in my palm. I will need many more to catch Brother Francis’s habit. Going to have fabric tape sent to patch it. Hopefully it does not get caught on branches and gets bigger.
