quick hullo.

maybe not...when i get to going, i can go.

this setting, aroma, has been a host of such incredible memories and conversations for me. Each of the beautiful faces flashing in my head resonates 'family', 'tied' in me. it's awesome.

coming from a place where i've used outgoingness as a defense against sharing about myself, this place--the shop itself, macomb--has been the backdrop for growth in intimacy.

james ofczarzak, mike mazur, thom topel, dave lester, lindsay...ashleigh, closing shop with nolan, the family that came to watch the show on friday-that midwestern mother, her three kids there...beautiful is here.

and as the setting and times shift for each of us, as they will, may we be able to recognize it more and more through the growth we've experienced here, through the minglings we've had with God, Beauty, Love here.

i'm out for now.

love.
