The Diocese of California is soon electing our 8th Bishop. Last night for the first time many of us met the nominees. The Rev. Bonnie Perry is one of our seven nominees, and when asked what she did to take care of herself spiritually, she said, "I kayak. I kayak. I kayak, Did I mention that I kayak? Yes, I kayak."
Lots of folks looked at me with a knowing smile, since they know very well that I would simply substitute row for kayak. Two different sports, but a very similar experience of the wideness of creation, among many other spiritual gifts. I was amazed to learn that she can get away with two or three kayaking sermons a year...I have to limit myself to one!
