7-19-08 observations while riding the Metro
Real admiration does not mean forsaking all others for one person...it means cherishing, taking delight and pleasure in someone simply because of who they are and treasuring the gift of their friendship...because of such cherishing, one forsakes all others.
Today as I embarked on the metro I saw a couple destined for failure-the male obligingly listening to the female, with a bit of a frown on his face. As they were waiting for the metro to arrive, I noticed that they were BOTH scrolling their Blackberries, not delighting in conversation with one another. It saddened me greatly...now almost to tears. May it never be. May it never be.

Tapping the Creative Wellspring
You and i dream of becoming whole people: people whose words match their actions; who no longer experience hurt, brokenness, pain. We long to see beauty in the world around us. When we do, we often gasp...or miss it, because we're running too fast.
This blog is meant to be a place for readers to wonder in a world that's spinning far quickly for all of us. Step into a place that embraces the things that stir the human soul, while also takes a stand against those that crush it. But, it holds no perfect solutions or absolute clarity, only brief glimpses of what is to come.
Instead of promising easy answers or simple tales of joy, what it can promise are tales of passion. Thus, the title of this account. But beware, passion sometimes equates with pain. And goodness knows, the journey won't be safe.
