Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tired. woke up today at 5:15 AM after having not fallen asleep last night until about 2:30 AM. Schleped B to the airpost so she could get on her plane to Houston which took off at 7:10 am. Went into work early and am now on my shift until at least 4:30 pm. I am currently in that struggle for

The painting of ones soul; broad strokes, fine lines, and everything in between. Broad strokes represent the generalizations, What you do for a living, what sort of hobbies you like to partake in, just general things that people do day to day that more than likely aren't immediately involved in the "finer points" like religious or spiritual beliefs, how love plays a role in your life, or similar things that I would describe as the "fine lines". Skating and music between you and Kelly seem like a healthy balance that provide the strokes neither broad, nor fine, but the inbetween. They act as a conduit for the broad activity of what they are, but also a focal point that allow you two to spend healthy, productive time together.
I think people become lost when they focus too much on either the broad or the fine independantly. The cookie cutter New York stock broker conditioned to concern him or herself with money over true personal happiness is one who I would describe as a person too involved in the borad strokes. Similarly, the hippie who lives homeless on a beach in California that lives too easily as a free spirit is caught up in the design of the fine lines. One is hungry for love, and the other is hungry for basic mundane needs. Granted, a utopian society could be the assimilation of either as the whole, but imo, it wouldn't truly be complete until the two met in the middle thereby eliminating the "need" produced by being on one opposite end of the spectrum.
Again, I think you and Kelly do well by finding activities to share, even careers for that matter, and keep each other grounded in the realm of desire. Hence my appreciation of you guys and your concern about the state of our Government and the Church in general. You maintain an honest desire to find better ways for everyone to live, rather than just yourselves. Part of that means having to accept the sorry state of affairs that we as a country are in, but better to fight that fight than find yourself pissed because a stock fell or your new Ferrari just got reposessed.
I Love you guys and look forward to talking to you soon. Stay you.
