Last night my friend Steve dragged me off my work to get chinese and watch a movie with him, and though I now dread the work that I did not get done, it was something I needed. After the movie, right before we were about to leave to take me home, we opened our fortune cookies. Mine said, "You are almost there." Wow. A deep fortune cookie. And it's true! It's something I do struggle with. It is encouragement that I needed to hear. I am so stressed with the work I must finish today and tomorrow; I do not see a logical way to finish all of it to the caliber that I want, but I do have this peace about it. But it applies to so much beyond what is today and tomorrow. It is a frustration I tangle with in future endevors, be it graduation, relationships, job searches or the like.
Thoughts have been swirling around me like I'm in a snowglobe; I pray for clarity and application.
Today I finally got a copy of the CD I recorded for last spring--very interesting to hear people around me singing a song of mine--a kind of vunerability I hadn't expected. It's kind of like my child; my own creation, that I have worked from conception to process to product and to see it exposed to the masses (or to the dozen or so who have the CD) and open to their interpretation is not something I had thought of. It's not bad, just unexpected. Cause, "I understand what I can see/it ain't hard to comprehend that it's my hands, my face, my feet/but there's a world that lives in liberty from the confines of my eyes/that I can't understand..."
