resonance...

i threw out a rock to see if i would hear an echo....
i called into the chasm to see if my voice would rebound...
i took a small step out on a ledge and trusted that what was there...what I saw... what I believed to be, would, in fact be...
i tentatively sat at the waters edge... toes in, yet not... waiting... watching... listening...
i met you in circumstances so average and normal... even mundane...
i didn't realize how you would challenge me...
i didn't realize how you would be the one person that the Divine would use to remind me of who i am.
i didn't realize when you rested your head on my shoulder that i would find it to be one of the most satisfying comforts i have known...
i didn't realize the depths of challenge... that you call me on my shit... that you question my intentions...that you call me to be my best me...
i called out... and you called back

your way is funny and sometimes dissmissive...
your way isn't always comforting in a traditional sense...
your way is teaching me that it can be different...
your way is about committment... and trust...
your way is about being who and what you say...
your way is new...


and i learn lessons that are much bigger than us... and you learn lessons that are much bigger than us... and we learn to know and trust Divine out of a place of need... and in the end this friendship is much bigger and more important than...

the things i've learned...

since you're gone... i am worth knowing. i saw me in you, two arachnids, the same. i saw the needing me, i saw the connecting me, i saw your "resonate with others" in an attempt to be known, you even said to me, that first night, " i connect with lots of guys this way" RED FLAG. i've learned that i was not so special, that i was just another, maybe another to you but ANOTHER to me. i learned... from you. THANKS! i saw you "act out" to be known. i saw you fill your life with all those things and people that you think will know you but that in the end leave you wanting. those young things, those rich things those meaningless things. i learned that i am capable of knowing i learned that I am capable of seeing behind the facade i learned that i am strong enough to choose what i wanted i saw me from 6 years ago in you. i saw the me, the less evolved me, the pain, the hurt, the lone line. i saw you, reaching out from behind your eyes in...

again and again and again...

the cycle is so present... always present... whether in my written notes or my online blog there is me getting excited about something, getting lost in the pursuit and then musing about it and stating that I've learned something only to repeat it... why? I'm hear again, well, sorta... my friend Mike said to me today, if you would only make a decision to settle on something. You have amazing energy and talent but you just need to settle on something. I am simply not sure what that is... still... not sure of so many things. I'm enjoying life though... have a great job... have nice friends... maybe i just have inflated expectations about what life is suppossed to be? maybe I just want too much? not sure... just saying. life is good.

things i hear in Nashville that I wouldn't hear in San Francisco

YMCA downtown: They really love the Word at Ethos.  They are good people, love the lord and love others. Tin Cup Coffee: What it is about is redemption.... what the Lord is about is love and redemption. Tin Cup Coffee: How can we use social media to spread the Word? If we just get consumed by political talk we lose.  On the personal side you need to be ingesting more spiritual based reading... what comes out of your mouth is what's in your heart. So, it would help you to be less sharp tongued to your opponent.
