SPI July 2006
Ive realized I have the gift of Tom Sawyering people.
I agreed only to go solo with the rents as long as I had a project - which turned out to be painting the condo green. I talked it up the whole way there and got them so excited on the idea that once I got them started they never stopped. It was a sweet trick. We only planned on doing one wall but once I got the roller in dad's hands mom got so excited on finishing that they did the whole place.
I also have a new interst of handstands on the beach. We cleaned out the old furniture and wierd decorative things and replaced with pictures of us. We discovered Isabellas, a sweet breakfast place (we ate there every morning) that serves dads favorite - chile relleno - and 2$ breakfast burritos 18'' long. You can get a full meal for 3 for less than $10. Also we
discovered St. Piers, a sweet not-too-fancy place that occasionally has live music and has a big deck on the bay. In closing, cheak out mom in a bathing suit and her sun rash that she went on and on about, she worked hardest to not get any sun (100spf umbrella + 50spf sunscreen) but endedup most tan out of all of us.
And Ill leave you with the Don Chaffer lyric of the day:
"now Jesus was a lover, he had fire in his eyes. . . that could burn away excuses and cremate your alabi's. . . he had a gaze that would expose to you all the suddle lies. . . that your soul permits your heart to tell, concerning all that it denies. . . " Chaffer 'Against the Window Pane'
So in in my bro's theme of regaining that sense of wonder (SPI really helps in realizing that), I think about the suddle things in our hearts that we often feel but deny. There is so much wonder and passion that is capable within ourseves. How do we express in fruits the things within our hearts, whatever they may be? How do we contact the inermost intimate truth to connect with the outside world? I saw a PBS concert with Ben Harper and thats what I want to be able to do (in whatever it is I do), be able to connect to the dream world: the passions within and express it through invisible things like musical expression that speak to us. To be able to live in a continual expression of the truth within us, thataway we can see, in truth, what is really in us. Because it is the things within us that tell us who we are, and they are proved by our actions. It is by the idle words we speak we are justified: "For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. . . for by your words will you be justified. . . " Matt 12
