Calm...or something like it.

I live in a crazy calm. I meander through the day (and you, my dearest friends will know that I truly mean ¨meander¨ ) and just below the surface God is working. And it usually is this whispering fade of life and changes and beauty and struggle that He pours into my days and being, but then once in a while, I unwittingly find myself standing on a cliff overlooking a beautiful but tumultuous sea as the gales of opportunity, change, fear, excitement and wonder gust over and through me.

You know, when you feel so filled up inside you just need to dance like a crazy person, or squeal like an eleven year old, or roll down a really huge hill like the one in the Princess Bride, or sleep for a year because you are so exhausted by emotion?

Yeah...maybe this is all a little vague. But I am in this place. Just a little undefined.

And right now I am enjoying amazing Italian brewed coffee, and the wee early hours of a lazy day (it´s the crack of noon) and this really great long black layered Spanish skirt that I found (it´s rebajas time) and poetry by Rainer Maria Rilke floating around en mi mente, and more than anything, the arms of God wrapped tightly around my existance.
