A friend recently passed along a story regarding a whale ** entangled in some fishing lines and related lesson learned by the divers who saved the whale…and it made me think of “Notes From Geritol Beach” written by my friend Mary T. Wilkinson.
As you enter the space called the Belfry Bistro, the former church, I have the notes framed on the wall hung above what was once the holy font. Today it reminded me of such an important lesson. I have always asked of everyone who enters the space, The Belfry…to unburden themselves…for me it’s a lesson of gratitude. So I say thank you.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
Life is great!
Notes from Geritol Beach
By: Mary T. Wilkinson, 1981
“Today I watched a young man comb the sand with a metal detector. Maybe he found a few coins or a bit of jewelry. He missed the smile I tried to offer, the changing cloud formations, the soaring gulls, the tide ebbing and the splendor of nature’s wonders. Some people go through life so burdened they miss the magnificent adventure of living.”
Please take a moment to unburden yourself as you enter this space.
Write down your worries and dispose of them during your brief stay.
Yours,
Christopher Wilson

will help you get untangled from the things that are binding you. And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude."
