RAMBLINGS 01.04.17


I saw my life transformed into a huge tapestry.  Each person, event, and place were strings weaving and intersecting with one another, composing the architecture of my life.

The blue print revealed itself:

"Oh, that's what that was."  
"I see it now, thank you."
"Damn. Just damn."

Life, I trust the design of it all!
So, this is what it is to have faith.

... and it's not done.  The intricacies are being woven moment by moment by this very moment. Fine strands turn into interwoven cords. Oh, it is all for something. At the end of my life I have this to look forward to-- the grand scheme of it all, revealed.

NIGHT ON BROADWAY

Night on Broadway is an arts and music festival.  For one night the historic theater of LA's downtown district host widely elective performances all FREE for to the public. It was created 3 years ago as part of the economic development initiative and has grown from 3,000 attendees to now 70,000. There was everything from a gigantic earth harp to silent discos to stand up comics to dodge ball games-- all a 10 minute metro ride from our apartment!

All sorts of weird things on the streets.
