tonight at olive garden our table was in dire need of a King and danforth humbly took up the position. an eclectic mix of people, could maybe be called the outcasts almost. We don't really fit in with others, and we don't really fit in with each other. There fore we all have something in common, birds of a feather you could say, simply though a dozen different birds. I told bobby that 2 years and one day ago we became friends and he said, this, he said, you know That's why you're going to be a good writer. Because you remember things like that. then my insides melted a little and love overflowed into a smile. It was my birthday at olive garden but luke skywalker seemed to be onto the charade so no singing was exhibited.
Alicia daniel and I went into the bathroom to put water in his hair because that helps headaches? and i saw us in the mirror and thought when I woke up this morningi had no idea that 12 hours later I'd be in the ryker bathroom painting water onto daniels hair with alicia with beauty in the beast playing in the next room and a handful of hooligans hollering happily. And I also never thought in that same bathroom the three of us would have a one night sit, speaking words of unhindered truth and listening with six ears of the winter. listening abundantly. Good talks, good hearts growing.
On our way to shades bobby and I saw a hitchhiker dancing in the road so i picked her up and her name was melissa and she had a prayer book. Not exactly sure how she wandered so far or what predicament seemed to so deeply frazzle her. But bobby and I were talking about jesus and she said she liked our conversation and then at66th some peculiar institution of sorts seemed to desire her company, her departure leaving the two of us rather curious and moderately skeptical. Oh well melissa. First hitchhiker.
At shades I begged loyal to come to thanksgiving with me tomorrow but he said he didn't want to be awkward to which I reminded him that no matter where he goes when why how and with whom, it would be awkward. Because that's simply his method of existence. He laughed and we compromised.
Bobby and i drove home and as i was leaving his home, car accidentally fell into a little ditch and stuck for close to an hour. Beautiful way to begin thanksgiving, and a thursday. The bobbys marched outdoors one by one, into the star ceilinged sleep walking planet earth to assist. Extraordinary people. Five of us, 1 in the morning thanksgiving 2011, thankful. In the circumstance, not necesarily for but absolutely in. Because for one moment there was no going anywhere, no leaving, it was there stuck still, and there was nothing left to do but look up into the glory and know that life Is bigger than this and this is a good thing, broken axel burning rubber, this is a good thing because at least I HAVE a car to fall into a ditch in. At least we HAVE a morning to be awoke up too early on. we have voices to complain with, we have voices to rejoice with, choose what to do with yours. The soul of the chosen, sing like we used to dance like we want to.
There is so much to be thankful for and herre in this second i am most thankful for this whole peculiar life thing. Life and the way its so uncomfortable sometimes and other times the way its unusually smooth. nothing like it truly.
look around with intention, let your dream life be this moment
