when it occurred to me that I was doing the very thing that I can do to help. I can run.

Please consider this challenge to raise funds for Haiti. A fund for Catholic Relief Services has been created. I invite you to run too! You can join Running For Haiti as a runner, send out your own invites to your own friends and family and send your funds through the same foundation. More information will follow soon!

Today

I ran today. That's all, just ran. It wasn't hard or easy, but it was boring. When it's boring, I try to go blank and not think about anything. This seems to make the time go more quickly, but it is difficult to do and even more - lots more - difficult to sustain. I have a certain respect for those who meditate.

When I could not clear my mind today, I tried to focus on my blessings, especially in light of thosewho are suffering in Haiti. Blessings are a theme this week; the Beatitudes will be read on Sunday; my students are learning about the Beatitudes this week; at practice, the choir sang the Beatitudes. It's almost like I should pay attention and spend some time thinking instead of going blank.

    attaining inner contentment in silence is not a bad quest either.
