Leighton, this is for you.
a beginning. I am just typing words at this point. but here goes.
I am sitting in the coffee shop I find myself in most days, checking email, sending email.
observing people. sometimes having lovely thoughts, sometimes not so lovely....you'll see.
I am flirting with a few books at the moment not really in a commitment with any of them...does that say something about me? hummmm. Currently in my life are...Jesus for President by Shane Claiborne- like him a lot. The Wild Birds:Short Stories by Wendall Berry- fantastic writer. I have only read his novels. I have some of his essay books but I am a bit intimidated by them, someday I will dive into them. Also attempting to go through The Artist's Way- Julia Cameron, has a lot of writing involved- ironic that I have a friend (that's you Leighton) who has been gently suggesting that i do this blog business and now i'm subjecting myself to writing assignments. We'll see how this unfolds.
"we will become a happy ending" is from a Page France song that caught my ear ... and I certainly hope it's true, but sometimes I look around and wonder how. I suppose knowing there is something bigger and more beautiful than my vivid thoughts can imagine gives me enough hope even in my questions. There is also those unspeakably beautiful moments in life that take my breath away and remind me that all of "this" tension, pain, joy, beauty, loss; it's good. It carves places of remembering. acknowledging our need, as well as what we have been given. I forget -a lot, but He is sweet about reminding me.
well. I will wrap up my first short post. I am having some people over for a Lost watch party/ mexican tacos / going away party, for a gal that I don't know but I will meet her tonight (i love that - kinda fun) bonus of having neighbors that like to be with people and love to have people over for dinner.
signing off...this is weird
