Poetry, theology, church, tea parties, cement (laying on it), collecting things (found, not bought), art, chocolate, singing, praying, dancing in warm summer rain storms, wooing streetlights, tree hugging, finger painting, focusing on the breath, surrendering to God, watching for falling stars, talking to animals, knitting, randomly embracing beautiful old ladies, healing (experiencing it and helping to facilitate it), babies!!!, interfaith dialogue, and running away to join Cirque du Soleil with Mandi.
Also... isms!
Idealism, Activism, Feminism, Communism/Socialism, Romanticism, Veganism, Transcendentalism, and most of all, Catholicism
(yeah dawg, straight up Catholisizzle).
I'd like to meet:
the Blessed Mother, and the guardian angel that protects me; although if I probably ever saw an angel, I'd be stunned silent. It would be wonderful to say thank you for all of the constant battling he's done for me in the realm of spiritual warfare where prayers are like chain guns.
There are lots of people I would like to meet too, like all of them on my heroes list, and the ones that have died and that I miss.
