....a quickie...

...no not that kind of quickie...Are you serious? Do you really think I would write like that on my blog, come on. :)

this will be a quick thought with more to come soon-

I've been thinking about my life...really lives in general and how I think of them. Usually, I have a hard time taking in the big picture. I'll just focus on the immediate and perhaps some relevant history. I'm considering what it looks like to see my life as a story. Not in the contrived cheesey " a new chapter of your life" sense but in a meaningful way. One that gives purpose and hope....

ok, more to come.

I'll leave you with a gem from Wendell Berry. One of my favorites...

Thirty More Years-

When I was a young man,

grown up at last, how large

I seemed to myself! I was a tree,

tall already, and what I had not yet reached, I would yet grow

to reach. Now, thirty more years

added on, I have reached much

I did not expect, in a direction

unexpected. I am growing downward,

smaller, one among the grasses.

- be well and go in peace.
