A week to go

It is both strange and interesting to look forward to a shared conversation about death, in particular with an unknown configuration of family, friends, neighbours and strangers who have yet to give shape to that group and its discussion.  Who will come? Why or why not? Will there be enough cake? Tea AND coffee? Upstairs in the entry/sanctuary area or downstairs in a room that is not overtly 'religious space.' Sigh. So many questions ahead of the event. One week to go.  Patient and pumped.
