more life lessons from a kayak
Waves were now lurching my kayak left and right and I nearly tumbled twice. I paddled furiously. I found myself quite angry at the wind and the waves. At one point, I remember using my paddle to take a good whack at a wave--partially in order to steer my craft, but also because, well, I felt the wave deserved a good whack.
the different drummer soundtrack--now more different than ever...
You're wondering what's going on here. Basically, the best way I can explain it is that I feel like I'm changing, my writing is changing, and it is time for the old blog to shed its skin and reveal a new one that I feel is more reflective of where I'm going—in my writing, in my life.
ker-plunk!
With my left hand I threw the object into the water. There was kind of a nice little arc as it flew--about five feet up in the air, and then the object plunged into the water with a surprisingly satisfying “ker-plunk” about fifteen feet away. I was a little surprised at how loud the “ker-plunk” was—kind of a deep and full noise. There was something that sound that felt very...complete.
deejaying a baha'i devotional
In general, I've been thinking more and more about the notion of employing artistic expression as a means of serving God. We'll see what comes of it.
summer rain
As I was walking home, it started raining one and a half blocks before I got to my house. I had an umbrella in my backpack, but I opted not to use it. I wanted to have the experience of being rained on. I highly recommend the experience.
