"I Just Stood There Whistling 'There Goes the Bride' as She Walked Out the Door..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

This year, the Episcopal Youth Retreat was just before Lent. As one of our activities, all of us were given a red ribbon and a yellow ribbon. On the yellow ribbon, we were to write a quality of Jesus' that we would like to try to emulate during the Lenten season. I put 'listening to people'; I've told this to quite a few folks now, who've asked.

On the red ribbon, we were to write a sin in us that we wanted to try to overcome. Nobody's asked about my sin.

It was arrogance. And I really, really don't think I'm overcoming it, I don't think so at all. I think it's just getting worse.

Also, my body has stopped working right.

I wish you everything beautiful.

i wish you warm grass to walk barefoot in, a tree to read books of poetry and silly detective stories under, a sky clear-but-not-too-clear, and heart balloons.

metaphorically speaking, of course.

I think you are lovely.

since this a compliment-deflection-free journal, i won't say 'no, not really' -- but i will say 'i think you're loveliness. take that.'
