exciting stuff

I ate Cajun Fillet Biscuits and drank Legendary Sweet Iced Tea with EB today. I got this call at 11:30 that kicked off, "Where are you?" She was driving from ATL to Duke for a wedding. It was a sweet surprise. The last time I saw her was in NYC in February. The last time I spent time with her in the Southland was in Atlanta in 2004.

Fireflies are the best. I think one of my night runs is going to inspire a fully-formed haiku. Today, there were fireflies, ducks and some kind of water fowl akin to the heron, but shorter and fatter. Oh, and I saw a robin chasing a cat: hilarious. Oh, divine friskiness, how you make me laugh.

I've been short runs every night in an effort to get in shape for the Nashville Marathon.

Last night, I went to Vespers at the Abbey then to chat with my Spiritual Director. But, vespers were super nifty because two guys joined the monastery: they got their robes and their new names. The ceremony moved me because we are new in Christ. And, the robes symbolized putting on the armor of Christ. It was powerful. I love liturgy. EB suggested I find an Anglican church plant.
