Shaun, we're also trying to cope with large, long-term, dreams having to be kept on the back burner (if that's not a mixed metaphor too far). It's very frustrating, but it has also given us a chance to refine our ideas a lot, and work out which elements of the dream are really important to us, and which can be let go of. There's a Quaker idea about service that I find quite useful for our situation. If you're asked to serve your Meeting you have to think both whether it's the right role, but also whether it's the right time for you to take that role. So one of the ways I think about achieving Right Ordering is to make sure I pay attention to both of those aspects of a situation.

Oh, and trust that the right time will come

Zillah
