present

tonight at the gathering, the 1-3 words describing my life was 'present'. not like a gift, but a being within the current moment. and it was so wonderful to realize that...to sit and drink in the richness of being present....things are brighter, fuller, more tangible and ultimately, more satisfying. i am so thankful.

i watched amy winehouse get out of rehab to perform 'rehab' on the grammys tonight, and then win record of the year. the word that i thought when i saw her reaction? humbled. luke 5:31

i've decided i really like sketching with people. so if we're friends and you sketch, we should definitely take an afternoon together. soon.

a 4 page notebook paper story of my life album and the album itself made me feel so very well taken care of. not necessarily by this person in particular, but by the One who unites me and all these people around me. every good gift comes down from the Father of lights.

old navy's new safari collection is going to send me to nicaragua in style. never before has fabric durability, cotton-ness and breathability mattered so much.

and i still don't know how to do links in my posts. annoying.

ps: my organic transformation has become a real thing of beauty. i like this path i get to be on.

" You gave your body to the lonely
They took your clothes
You gave up a wife and a family
You gave your goals

To be alone with me
To be alone with me
To be alone with me
You went up on a tree"

To Be Alone With Me Sufjan Stevens

"And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or fathers or mothers or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and inherit eternal life. " -Matt 19:29

I'm glad that word was meaningful for you...it has been meaningful for me as well.
"my organic transformation has become a real thing of beauty. i like this path i get to be on."
