now...

so its about fall. there are crunchy leaves on the ground, and laughter bubbling from my heart. its happy. millie is here for the weekend; we're going to the Passion conference Monday... gotta love world tours!! we're having fun--im having fun. i love hosting--having guests. cooking. laughing over coffee and good music. making memory associations to smells and new sounds. oh its lovely. fall reminds me always of newness somehow. yes, i see the irony--leaves are dying, right? but the explosion of colour always sends me on this flurry of thoughts (thought strings, of course, im circular) where not only am i thankful to be alive, but im happy to be in life--in community--with the world around me. as broken as it is, its beautiful. truly. and i love being a part of its heartbeat. oh, october. full of promise and bloated with joy. what a lovely new place to find myself in. i should have told people i was leaving a long time ago so that they would want to finally invest in our relationship! hahaa. oh, im loving it all...
