oh, delight

oh, how good it feels to realize that what you’re craving is something that you have all of the ingredients for already.

lately, i’ve been dreaming (possibly to an unhealthy extent) of living in community with a dozen or so people outside of of our current geographic local. i’m thankful for people, who reshape what i think is ideal, with their thoughts, experiences and wisdom. my friend annie, challenged the idea, and asked what could become of it here, in columbus. a new friend, ian, shared that as an addict, location didn’t change anything. everything is accessible anywhere. that arguing that where you are is preventing you from something, is a dumb excuse. then it struck me, i’ve got it all, right here. the key is learning how to be intentional in the day, in the hour, in the minute. to not only talk often about community and sharing life in a deeper way, but inviting my housemates onto the adventure through and through. maybe they’re not on board in the big picture, always. (let’s move away and work part time jobs and grow a garden and cook together and go to the same church and love the same people) but they’re totally in for cooking dinner together and having discussions about books and sitting on the porch and all of these micro-dreams. i love it.
