Up at 6:30, dress, pack, and breaky about 7am.
John and Janey have treated me like their nephew.
Janey has packed me another scrummy lunch, and given me a little packet of her home cooked biscuits.
John said "Walk without your trolley today and I'll put solid tyres/wheels on the back (leave the good spare), and drop it to you in Moree!" Wow! How good is that!
So John dropped me where he picked me up from yesterday arvo, about 25km from Moree. It is foggy here on the road this morning:
Did a U-ey,
and drove back to their farm near Bellata to fix the trolley, and bring it, near the end of the day, to Moree.
Wow. Part of an amazing suppot crew I never booked! How beautiful to see creative love creating it, and forming it. I'm really enjoying working with creative love's team! Thank you.
A mate rang over breaky. I rang him back when I got on the road. Good time talking.
I got to the 2 hr mark, but a couple of vans were beside the picnic tables I would have put my feet up at, and my mate was on the phone to me, so I walked on. Then meditated on creative love, using Psalm 97 as my bouncing board, while I walked, and had a break at a spot that appeared, about 5km out.
John rang, and is coming to Moree, with my trolley. He suggested I at least visit and sit in the artesian hot pools. So I'll try to get there before John gets to town.
Then it's off to the home of a friend of a friend of a friend, who has said I can stay there for the night.
Phil & Fiona took me in and shared their dinner and their spare bed with me. They even shared their family habit of reading and discussing a part of one of the First Century documents on the life of Jesus with me. Something I'm trying to spend some time each day doing, so it fitted in well with this pilgrimage.
.
When I said I needed to learn how to talk graciously with people who believe differently about some key things, Phil had a suggestion of a helpful book to learn how to talk about things with others who think differently: War of words. I've bought the Audible version of it, so I might try to finish it before Mungindi.
Thanks you two, for a lovely meal, shared time discussing the problems facing humanity presently, and ways forward with old structures and new life.
We are planning to eat breakfast together at 7:15am, do some more reading and discussing, & then for me to walk off towards Mungindi, via a grocery shop.
