creating...
I need to create. To write, to film, to sing. But more than that; I need to build something. I don’t know what and I and I don’t know when, but I know it needs to happen. Someday maybe a neo-monastic community of sorts? I don’t know. Maybe it will be years in the making.
In the meantime, I need to create. To build. To tide me over, I think. I think the most life-giving thing that is built is collaborative- a group of people. I’m totally jazzed about our groups growth, and just hoping by God’s grace it can be steered toward something life-giving and life-changing. It’s like I start to think “maybe we can make a difference.”
And the beauty of it all is that you don’t really have to do the building, just cooperate with the Creator. That’s when things flow. Now the challenge is actually putting something behind that – not just talking about it, but doing it.
Am I making any sense? It’s just that sometimes that feeling, that need to create becomes so intense it’s almost overwhelming. Thoughts?

I'm glad you're blogging again. It is a good way to keep up with what's going on with you-something I enjoy hearing about.
