more good things

as of late, good things:

-an upcoming trip to knoxville to see my dear friends rebecca, carlos, and their not-so-baby-anymore jonah! harvest/housewarming party, here i come! my dear friends colin and laurel may also come from sewanee. and i may also get to see my dear friends anna and chris too!

-kennedy center is having a first annual congregation inclusion conference at the beginning of october - i have high hopes for it being a breath of fresh air. http://kc.vanderbilt.edu/vkc_dev/Fcet/Default.aspx?id=2297&type=event

-yoga this morning at sanctuary for yoga with dear friend laura. maybe this will motivate me to do something work-out-ish (and even spiritual) once a week even. routine-struggles aside, this morning was good practice.

-poetry last night and tomorrow night at scarritt-bennett. last night was a particular poet reading a few of her poems for a group and taking questions afterward. tomorrow night is a group of folks reading poems from poets all over latin america and spain - and there'll be some music, and apparently close to 100 folks attending the event. i often ache for more spanish in my life, and it'll be especially nice to be around native speakers. oh, for how to bring together all my passions (latino culture, earth-mindedness, monasticism, community, folks with developmental disabilities, music...) into the same place and time, so that i might not have to wander all over creation to feel each part of my soul resonate.

love.
jessica

will do! that sweet little jonah has called me jessica (or something close to it) over the phone a few times - eek! he's talking like a real little adult! (he even gets it better than dean - bless his heart, i'm either jessie or "donna" to him. i still don't know where he got donna.)
