The best part of life is the icing on the cake Send not therefore to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee Meditation’.

It was the supreme chievement of his busy life time and when he had finished it he invited Queen Caroline and her court to’ inspect it, After conducting her around the huge building, he awaited her reac- tion in an agony of anticipation “Mr. Wren,” she said in brief, “your new cathedral is most awful, artificial and amusing.” Wren, instead of being crushed as we would have been by these words, bowed deeply and left the queen’s presence walking on air, for what she had said in the English of three cen- turies ago was, “Mr. Wren, your cathedral is most awe-inspiring, artistic and delightful.” The speaker started his fif- teen lectures by telling his some 80 listeners that he would be attempting to “ring the bell which is latent in each of you.” Then, by means of analogies and stories which often termi- nated in a smiling “but that is The sun-filled flavours of sum Jmer fruit, sliced on a large way are only enhanced by the luscious Make lots a.

It all started when I decided to enroll in a course for Children’s Literature The theory behind all this was to help alleviate, or should I say manage”, the stress in my life that comes with raising three children and.a husband, two cats and a dog. What's that you say? Oh, yes of course, this is the most exciting, exhilarating and wonderful experience of my life (When I'm sleeping) I embraced this venture with determination to allow my cre ative juices to flow and thus began writing short stories for children. I, of course, had to first “try them out” on my own little wonders just to ensure they weren't total flops. The first few received adequate attention from the boys. But they never asked me to read them again and I knew I hadn't captured the essence of childhood. Then suddenly, out of nowhere it seemed, this inspiring idea popped into my conscious: ness with such clarity that I knew I had a hit even before I What is he atmospheres 1 thinking and what he creating in his memory bank for nostalgic years to com that babies see things exactly as they are, with out judgments from experiences LIFESKILLS for the young, old and willing Brenda Scatterty past or hindrance from limiting beliefs like us adults °.

We do not need to allow these roadblocks to color our whole world. My children have given me this gift of life and I am eternally grateful And now I understand why I had kids.

Thus, the term “wilderness” became not only a piece of rough real estate but a metaphorical time of difficul- ties then and now, and a some times necessary challenge in our lives, to be entered and tra- versed for our future growth; while the practice of turning away from life's challenges became a denial of life “kind of death” The analogy of reality and religious experience were not seen as two unrelated parallel lines but as the DNA helix, the double spiral of intertwining chromosomes which is the basis of all living things. Providing the background for all of this mental “bell ringing stage presence and Celtic sense which had us laughing until the tears came. And that ladies and gentlemen was the icing on the cake The Reverend Charles Bal four, formerly of St. Davids’ in Castlegar, now at Squamish, was taking some of the church services and also making an audio visual record of the lec tures.

It stands a rambling white building on 3/4 acres of carefully groomed lawn, garden, pens for a number of exotic birds and a large gaze- bo where a fine afternoon tea is served several times a week Under the fine hands of its hostesses, Linda and Verna, it more than lives up to its boast of home-style hospitality for it is roomy, comfortable and quiet The breakfast, whose menus are changed each day and which I shared with a most interesting, semi-retired UBC physiology professor, Aline, were among some of the most attractively served and tasty I have enjoyed anywhere. Ideal for someone taking a course at the Centre or just passing through. Full marks to the ladies. On Saturday, Linda took me to the bus depot (it was raining just as hard there as it was here) and I took the bus to Vancouver for the Seaforth Highlanders’ celebration of the invasion of Sicily.
