Homecoming!

I would just love to inform you all of my roommate Ivan coming home and joining w/ the house again. The first time that i saw him back, i had just arrived home at the house from work. I saw a lucia's friend april's car so i just went into lucia's apt. and when i entered i heard a male's voice. When i finally recognized it, i was completely speechless. I was looking at him w/ very little words to say because although i knew he had the possiblity of being home soon, i didn't know when it would be though. It was amazing to see him although i had such a lack of words to say.
We had some great discussion at 1 am this morning and i look forward to connecting w/ him the rest of the Pink House. We discussed the search that everyone is on and how music and culture fit into all of that. How music in our generation and the themes that are discussed are unique to the generation that is current. It is a intriguing thought and conversation to have. Ivan is a great listener and speaker...

On another note, i just had a great conversation with a kid who is a sophmore at Edison High School. Last time i subbed for him i butted in on a religious conversation about the search for God and it turned out to be a great discussion. This kid Jose' is confused and searching and challenging himself with thoughts about Who created God, if God created man. Also the age old question of what and where is heaven and hell, as well as why does everybody say that everyone elses religion is wrong. It was great to take with him and share my thoughts on the bible and how i see these things. Also to tell him that i am in a similar boat w/ the issues but to keep on looking and challenging himself in this.

I hope that you day is going well, i am excited for the Delta Spirit, Lakes, Sparrows gate show in San Luis tonight. Good times will be had, hopfeully a dip in the ocean as well. Cheers!

i feel like god is moving in your life in ways that are unconventional. ivan coming home, the kid from edison, truth is found in these. just a thought.

mmm... lakes. i'm sure it was all you hoped it would be.

yeah, ivan is in my sociology of religion class - i didn't any eloquent words to greet him, but it was an overwhelming gladness. i don't even know the guy that well, but i can tell that he is loved by many, many, many good people.

that's awesome to connect with jose - isn't that the beauty in living life unconventionally? how else would you be able to get to know this kid, except through living a little differently? more experimentally?
