...been kind of quiet, last couple of weeks. holy week was FAST and INTENSE. i was real glad when Jesus came back on Sunday. lent seemed a lot longer than it usually does. i mean, it wasn't...but those forty days sure felt heavy and long. so i guess lent did it's appropriate job.
i'm still running. i'm still yoga-ing. i still need to go buy some new guitar strings, but i keep playing on the old ones. learned a new song last week. i was trying to nourish my inner-15 year old boy, and so i learned "you can't always get what you want". you guys--that was probably the best song to learn during holy week. every single time i sat down to play it, i feel like i heard something new and learned something a little bit deeper. i'm constantly amazed and humbled at the way G-d sometimes peeks around the corners of the ordinary things in my life, and tells me how loved we all are. i'm sure my upstairs neighbors are totally over hearing me play it, along with some of the other songs i always play when ever i pick up my guitar. but that's ok, because i'm totally over the sound of them constantly...moving furniture...and being kind of uh, noisy about it. i'm all for them ...moving as much furniture as they want, as often as they want to move it...but...man...i'm wondering if they aren't doing some project for school because DAMN...anyway, i've been playing my guitar REAL loud.
spring is so fast and furious...i feel like i'm on fast-forward, some days. it's ok to stop and breathe. it's ok if i miss something. it's ok if i don't know the answers or if i have to start over, from the beginning. grace finds a way to come inside, take off it's shoes, sit on our laps, and love on us, whether we think we need it or not. the real trick is to not pull back or try and reschedule, but to be willing, right then, to cuddle up to it, and hold it like the precious thing it is.
mil besos,
