My last blog post, Reverend Na in San Francisco, was a deeply personal post that brought together two story lines. One story line has been ongoing for 17 years involving the life, brief yet profound friendship, and passing of Mark Ankeles, who continues to be a presence in my life throughout the years. The other story line involves officiating the recent marriage between my two friends, Tim and Burt. The common denominator of Friday the 13th is one aspect that creates a special intertwining bond between story lines and memories, both old and new, which reside in the beautiful depths of my heart.

Reverend Na in San Francisco
It started off as a joke, first in 1998, then years later on
Facebook. I was told I could become a
Reverend online and, with a touch of youthful disbelief and curiosity, decided
I had to try it for myself. I was quickly ordained, however, aside from
labeling CD mixes “Reverend Na”, nothing else became of my Reverend status for
years.
Then a few months ago, a Facebook post by one of my friends
I met in Costa Rica caught my eye.

people who says they would like to catch up then takes forever to make it
actually happen.
Including the above, I have had several ruminations and
realizations that stemmed from our Spring Lake walk I thought I would share:
