Sort of random

My thoughts over the past few days have been random... very random...
Juggling sticks
scraped toe
texting
surprise party
my boyfriend met jeanne
and i was excited
and I know this sounds weird, but I am thrilled to introduce Jeanne to my boyfriend, because if you all recall, she was a major influence on my life... and I adore that two people who influence me so much, get to meet.

Rally

I went to another church retreat...
and from that:
I have seen auras of people, all meshing as one bright white... I have seen people smiling and laughing. I have seen 200 teenagers from all over, dancing together as if nobody is watching. I have seen a room full of people come to life when a drum starts to play. I have seen people of all ages and backgrounds come together and hug each other. I have seen 200 teenagers scream to let negative energy out, and cry when the positive intake overwhelmed them.
I have danced to the rhythm of my soul
I have slept on a canoe as people sang joyous tunes all around in their own boats.
I have let go of my fear for a moment, long enough to forget it, and enjoy a song.
I have laid down on a floor, and been moved to tears by words, .
I have colored a mask that I hide behind...
I have thrown that mask away
I have met the most inspirational people around
I have met tomorrows great thinkers
I have spent time learning about other people
I have danced around like a 4 year old.
I have walked up to people I didn't know, to blow bubbles at them.
I have sang Bob Marley and The Beatles while joining hands with many people.
I have cried on the shoulder of a trusted stranger...
I have seen people tie colored strings of yarn on their friends...
I have tied more than 50 pieces of yarn in somebodies hair.
I have eaten lunch with an idol of mine
I have done this in a 4 day period.
I have lived for less than 18 years...
what have you done?

And even with these events, it was not the best 4 days of my life... but it was still amazing
