But there's one world i spend most of my time in. Where the heat from the sun is strong and the days is fast-paced. Press your shirt and smile big because this is the full-time world. Full-time jobs that pay full-time bills and full-time people working their hardest to make it through to lunch. And then there's another world that, although i don't spend the greater part of my time in, seems to contribute the most substance.
I'll explain.
The past couple of days i've seen them contrast sharply. At least three days in a row it happened, which is strange because normally these moments come a bit more sporadically lest they lose their value. Throughout the day i was productive and, i'm sure, seemed quite normal.
And then the moon did something strange...
It covered me from head to toe in answers to questions that, even now, i can't quite put my finger on. It reminded me why, with eyes like Lions, we're called to live in chaos. Because, in chaos, those things that are steadfast stand out. You. You know who you are. You know if that calling is for you. There's no denying it and there's no escape. And even more than my need to flesh out strange ideas and emotions, this blog is for you. Because it's easy to forget what the chaos is about. We forget that, when it seems like we can't catch a break, we're only where we are because we're people of a different spirit. A stronger spirit. One that feels no less pain, but has a promise of something greater. And this is the weather that is necessary for our preparation.
So i look forward to the next reminder. I look forward to the next mediocre day. The day that i'm having trouble remembering that spirit i carry. The day that seems so normal and insignificant until suddenly.... the moon does something strange. It's sad maybe but it takes the numbness to appreciate the passion for me sometimes.
Today was such a normal day. And then, the moon did something strange.
