digging

During some digging today on the internet I ran a gammet of emotions. First, anger. Darin's Blog
You see, as I read his blog I realized all of the unresolved issues I have to work through with this man. Sufficive to say, reading his blog didn't help me move through anything. But I did enjoy reading about the irony of Shane being detained and about how we are becoming such the purple country. Reading about him made me wonder what Shane has been up to recently. It brought me joy and many questions. It's gotta be about the heart huh? That's what is most important. The heart issue. After reading I came to understand a little bit more of where my anger comes from, I cannot let go of the heart issues with Darin yet. And I cannot just take Shane and put him into a box that's labeled all things good cause I trust his heart. Nothing in life is all good or all bad. We are both. Always. And all these thoughts added to my confusion and lessened my anger. Later, I went to Doug Pagitt's blog and the thoughts and emotions ran crazy. LOTS to think about. I really enjoy Doug. He taught me a long time ago that we are onions not oranges. I appreciate his points of view even if I don't agree with all of them. I then came upon Michael Toy and really began missing conversations with my friend Nathan We used to go to this labyrinth together. He brought me there once to help me find peace. We used to dream of creating a resting place for people to come to receive. Dreamed of building a huge labyrinth. With Kate. A place of rest! Member Kate? Oh...We used to go to this monastary outside of Omaha and walk and sit and worship and enjoy the mystical side of our faith. The retreat Michael Toy speaks of that he would plan is something like Nathan and I would have planned. I miss him. And his wife. Can all the people I love just gather in one place so that I can be happy? Such selfish wishes. This is who would be on the list.

That's an exhaustive list that doesn't even come close to being finished. And I don't think all of them would be invited to the retreat. Just to my party. Oh my poor parents and my future wedding. Well, that's what you get with a WOO/high E! That's me...
