It Tastes Like Blueberries
I used to worry alot more. Then I realized that its generally pointless. Planning is good, but worrying? Nope, it never really helps.
I've never gone hungry, although I have been without the means to buy food before. I have never been without a place to sleep, although I have been without a place of my own. I have never gone without friends, although I have felt alone before.
It is a faith thing for me now. If I trust that things will turn out okay for me, then they usually will. This is not to say that they will turn out the way I want them, cause they probably won't. If I am open to all of the worlds many options, though, then I realize that my plans are very narrow minded. Some of the best times in my life, I never envisioned before the exact moment was upon me.
I now live in this faith. I don't know what is happening exactly, but I know that whatever happens it will be okay. Hell, it might even be better than okay, but I won't ask for too much.

i 've thought about something like this before. there are some people who militantly insist on living the only life they want under that exact circumstances they want or desire. there are other people (and i feel like putting both you and i in this category) who have a talent or an ability or a willingness to make the best out of their situation or to adapt and go with the flow. but those of us in this latter group risk living a life that is not our absolute ideal, no? being relatively optimistic or thankful is good, but i sometimes worry that i'm not impatient or tunnel-visioned enough to pursue specific shit that might be cool.. well, just a thought.. peace..LM
Hey Justin-
You recently posted a friendly hello on my blog- i thought I would let you know that I saw Robinella at The Down Home and she really was WONDERFUL. She sand a song that she and Cruise had just written that afternoon- I was in heaven.
I have a sister living in Chicago right now- six degrees and all, I guess. :)
