Changing Color

This is something that randomly came to me in class today.  

It's different... and random... but I think there is meaning in it...

Blue

Changing color

Green

Purple men running after me

Crazy thoughts

They scream

Turning me blue and then to green

Purple men chasing after me

Rapid movements

Impulsive they seem

Struggling

Struggling
Set me free

Finding My Loves Once Again

There is a question that I am asked often. It is a question that should be simple enough to answer, yet in recent months it has become increasingly difficult to answer without feeling like I am lying. It wouldn't be a lie that would really hurt anyone, but for me it's important enough to consider. This question is representative of who I am so, I suppose, I will let you in on what question it is that I speak of…

"What are your hobbies/interests?"

You see, to me a hobby and interest should be done at least SOME of the time and with SOME frequency. When someone asks my hobbies/interests the following is my typical response:

Reading

Writing

Horseback Riding

Photography

Drawing

Fishing

….

Yeah, what of those have I done much of in the past year … umm … none.

• I haven't ridden in 2+ years. I miss it so much, but I don't have the equipment or the access currently…
  
• I read a few verses a day or maybe even a few chapters, but there has been little to no real in depth reading of the Bible … nor really any reading for pleasure or enrichment other than grad school textbooks …
  
• Writing… Ha! I don't even do that… Just look at my blog… MAYBE one post a month…. I am not writing on the side… If I were you would read it here… Why? Because I like to share what I know, am learning, etc.
  
• Photography… Where's the time? Photo Excursions can take hours… Hours of daylight… Meet my schedule… It doesn't work… Those have been my excuses.
  
• Drawing… My sketchbook hasn't gotten much love recently… It had at least a 9 month break… I don't draw well, but I love word pictures and to doodle.
  
• Fishing has improved…. After an 8 year break (or so) I have started fishing again. It is wonderful.
  

So, I've decided that this has to change.

More photo trips.

More fishing fun.

More writing. Especially here.

More reading that is non-academic.

More drawing. Going to buy a new sketch book.

Horseback riding…well, if the opportunity presents itself.


Hold me to it please? Thanks!
