It would probably make sense to combine this web site with the DMU blog site. Put up some kind of big link to it. Obviously the retreatants are not going to post anymore blogs and I'm not sure if any of the care takers use this site. All my posts as of late go to the DMU site. I saw a friend of mine in Phoenix recently. He said that he read some of my posts and that I sounded sad. I had to laugh because it was true and I was in a very good mood when talking to him. I do only tend to write when there is something of some weight on my mind. I resolve to also write when I feel really good. I'll try to encompass the times of satisfaction and peace and gratitude that come with serving the retreat. After all, I have complained about all the essential points of my dismay serval times now. If I keep it up it will just be droll repetition.
I went over to JEO's trailer the other night to use the internet and get away from the cat. John, thanks so much for leaving your trailer up and running. I was watching funny animal videos, break dancers, and music performances. It's a gift, the internet. I was introduced to the phenominom of the Jonas Brothers. I watched some concert footage from Tucson. It was three min. of solid, ear peircing teenage girl screaming. You could not hear the music but at certain mysterious intervals, the screaming would increase, which seemed impossible. There was so much energy, joy, and passion. What a world to live in, as a performer. You must end up feeling like a demi-god. My world out here in Bowie and DMU is so small that I was really amazed by this video. I had no idea who the Jonas Brothers were or the scope of their influence. Are they a force of good or evil, possibly neutral? I'm ok with my ignorance on this topic. One thing serving the retreat has done is narrowed my focus even more then it was as a student at DMU. There is simply nothing else to do out here but work with your mind. It's perfect.
