Truly.

Ok- so my new favorite albums are 1) the soundtrack from Juno- super fun and sweet, and 2)Raising Sand by- ok, ready? Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. OH MY GOODNESS. It is the most beautiful thing- from the haunting 'Killing the Blues' to the hilarious 'Fortune Teller', I am completely entranced and in love. I feel like I have heard all of the songs before, and at the same time, they all feel completely new. Mmmm.... I am also having a little Duran Duran fetish, but that is my own problem. Get the first two- directly.

My love letter to the universe continues...

Well, hello there. Somehow, somewhere, I started moving, and haven't really sat down since. It is all good, just less still than it used to be- which is funny because I actually tried to start meditating every day. That turned into a creative excercise on how exactly I define meditation. Thus, I spent a lot of time trying to excuse my lack of time to just be. Ironic, yes? Just when I need peace the most, I try to wiggle out of it. Lame, I know- especially because Thomas Merton's presence weighs heavy in that corner- not chiding, just very much there.

It is a strange sensation- I have that exuberance usually reserved for summertime, very project oriented with very little attention span for anything quiet. I am going to attempt the balance- certainly there is goodness in that. Mine is a moving meditation- a becoming in action, a walk. I am ok with that- becoming by doing. As I have discovered, being and doing are not mutually exclusive.

In any case, If I am not here, you can probably find me here.
