This summer is tilting towards the too much change side. I hope we get to compare our spare change soon. Change vs. comfort – I always too much of one or the other.

Yet, I want the noise to stop sometimes. Did you ever sit and just listen to your breath? Outdoors? Wind moving in the tops of trees? Birds fluttering? it's disturbing and yet comforting. You feel small in the hugeness of everything, yet huge surrounded by the smallness of everything...all by listening to the breath... We are kindred spirits, Odell.

I love the line, "My comfort is becoming uncomfortable. " I know exactly what you mean!!!! Rebecca p.s. I hope I didn't put you on the spot this morning when I asked for you to move closer. Selfishly, I wanted the pleasure of your company, and knew that if you were sitting near me, we'd probably get a chance to work together during Camille's TIW. Maybe another time! Hey Odell,

I like how you write that your comfort is becoming uncomfortable. Sounds like an impetus for some potentially powerful change. The toughest changes (in my eyes) are those that are thrust upon us, rather than being chosen.
