Hi Kato,
I'm so glad you got your butt out of the library into Stanley Park.
I read the following artcle.

■"Beaver Lake"
what a brilliant article!
It was so much fun to see those beaver pictures and to think of you wrestling one of them to the ground.
What a guy you are!
Something about those beavers just resonates with us locals & we really love them.
... hope you enjoyed learning about them as well.
Thanks so much for sending this.

I just realized I haven't had an ice-cream cone all summer.
I must go out and get one tomorrow.

Rose Garden!

Hi Diane,
What a gorgeous day we have here today!
I'm glad to see you in the library and take your advice.
You know what?
It is one of my pleasures to take a stroll in Stanley Park.
My favorite place is Rose Garden on the Malkin Bowl (open theatre) side.

Rose Garden at Stanley Park

I usually sit on one of the benches and read a favorite book or newpapers---24H, Georgia Straight, Vancouver Courier, etc.
Today, the library closes at 6 o'clock.
So I'll go over there.
If you happen to read this mail before six, join me at Rose Garden.
In any case, please click the following link:

I've written this story just for you.
...hope you'll enjoy it to the hilt.
Your playful bohemian, Kato
with a lot of love

Subj:The search for God is like
riding around on an ox
hunting for the ox.
Holy cow!

Hi Kato,
Oh, I'm so glad you love the rose garden at Malkin Bowl.
I do as well.
It's such an elegant spot and the Parks Board maintain it with obvious love and caring.
I'm not reading this until late Friday night, so guess I've missed our proposed rendevouz, kiddo.
In any case, I hope you enjoyed your visit at the garden.
I've been so busy having a marvellous time with my forest-bathing or shinrin yoku, that I'm afraid I've been neglecting my reading.
Thanks so much for this thought-provocative article---"God is Near!"
You indeed may be right about believing in Providence, which of course by some is thought of as being another word for God.
The trouble with God is everyone you talk to has something different in mind when they talk about God.
Personally, I choose to believe without believing if you know what I mean.
My favorite definition of God is by Thomas Merton who describes God as a circle whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere.
My girlfriend Catherine describes God as omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient.
The Buddhists say the search for God is like riding around on an ox hunting for the ox.
Holy cow!
Anyhow, in the long run, it seems to me it's healthier for us all to choose to believe!
Thanks again, I really loved the above article.
Ciao, Diane ~
