It's all a figurative mess!

Sitting enclosed in a windowed corner of my new coffee place. The sky has turned on us again.. and rain is sheeting and settling the dust.

Coming from a Christian perspective.. I like the idea that we are made from the dust of the earth. It helps me visualize something as typical and simple as rain as a settling agent and control to our wild uprisings. Its a beautiful interpretation that suggests that while we are worldly and wildly unpredictable and sometimes annoying, there is something above us that comes down to settle us. Until all is still again.

It's a beautiful rain today. I'm in love with life and all its unfolding story. I am going to center myself this year around two distinct but intersecting themes: Create and Story. Taking a deep look into what I was created for, helping others see what they were created for, and understanding that being created for it doesn't mean anything unless we choose to live it.

I'm obsessed with the idea of abundant life. But I still don't live like I am. That's why I say I'm obsessed with its idea...

Started chatting up to random women yesterday though. I mean, they probably don't consider themselves as random.. but I had never met either of them before and until that moment had not one passing thought of their existence. Anyways... I never do that sort of thing. And that's always bothered me...

But it's like.. what if I'm awkward? What if I run out of things to say? What if they hate me intrinsically? Ya know, all the basic rational fears a person has when thinking about whether or not to engage in a new relationship.

Turns out they were lovely. Imagine that.
