The Idiot

"Lack of originality, everywhere, all over the world, from time immemorial, has always been the foremost quality and recommendation of the active , efficient and practical man...."

Fyodor Dostoevsky

How do we balance that sense of wonder with the simple practical needs we have to meet? How do we do that and not sail our dreams, passions, and everything else that makes up what we are? How do we live in all this mess and live out who we were made to be?

I don't know, but we can't buy into the lie that security is the end all, don't let the practical and naysayers snuff out that joy and wonder. Maybe its ok to do something that makes no sense every now and then.

Springfield, Mo

A few weeks back I went on a short little trip to springfield, Mo to give out some outdoor gear to the homeless and see a good show. I've been meaning to talk about it for a while, but I couldn't figure out how to really explain it, and I don't know if I can. It was beautiful, that much I know, we gave out a lot of sleeping bags and jackets to people that were in need, and we got to give out totty and just sit and listen and be there. We showed up, and that was it, God took care of the rest. Here's a small little taste.
