saturday.
yes it is saturday again and i am cozy at caribou. what a way to spend an afternoon in july.
i want to write again. for more than a year this blog outlet was a great place for me to retreat to and express my thoughts, ideas, emotion and even some helpful information. then, i got caught up in other things. now, i feel the energy and the zeal to write, so i will write. just do me a favor and read. thank you.
last night i thought this might be a good day to go fishing, but the weather report said it wasn’t. now, i am not so sure. i wish i had made plans to throw a little bait on the hook and dip it in a lake. maybe this week. encourage me!
as i sit here and my mind wonders and wanders, writing is hard to do. last july i was writing out of my sense of loss. this july i feel i am beginning again. last year i was truly a wandering wonderer, or was that a wondering wanderer? who knows? do i really care? i feel found right now and although all is not right, there are many things that are right.
i get a do-over! tomorrow is the day i have positioned in my mind and heart (beyond holidays and traveling) to reposit myself into the matrix of building a community of faith. i have ideas, plans, dreams, desires, vision and a call on my life. i feel it is epic in the sense that all of God’s stories are epic in nature.
my friend, len sweet, coined this idea a few years ago in his book soul tsunami. i embrace it today. len is a futurist (recently, i was labeled a futurist as well by an instrument i used to measure my strengths.) len characterizes living an epic life as…
Experiential – tasting, touching, feeling, knowing, sensing life.
Participatory – engaging, realizing, hands-on, working, playing, enjoying, being.
Image-Rich – colors, textures, icons, meaning, artful, shape, motion, movement, depth, created.
Connective – communal, interactive, hand-in-hand, together, tandem, interdependent.
what an epic life gives creates a story. what is your story? i want to share you story and i want you to share mine. they are intertwined, tied, knotted, glued, woven, braided into a mosaic tapestry of grace and goodness. today, i feel love and i feel loved! share it, know it, love it.
come with me…i am going epic!
