slowly the blog is left at the wayside
covered in dust
shivering
and alone

it doesn't have much to say any more
the world spins about so fast
it can't keep up
fingers can't type fast enough
to communicate anything more
than a cryptic poem

once upon a time
life seemed a little simpler
and wasn't so abstract

things were easier to express
the world was still large
but a simplicity wove a story
through the hours of my life

now, what can i say?
the world blurs
things happen so fast
that i can hardly take note of the seasons
at times i don't know what to make of it
and if i don't know
how can i express it?

once upon a time i worked with people
and had my fill day to day
with both their exasperating habits
and exuberant victories

in the simple life i had time to think
i had time to muse
to ask tough questions of myself
and to stay a while and find the answers

i had things to put in a blog
because life was write-down-able

now...
where would i even begin?

The Freedom Project is going well We just added our seventh member and we got a facebook up and running We're planning for a trip to central Europe in September and I just found out yesterday that I needed to learn how to make a short video cuz there's a church asking if they can fund raise for us They want to pre-order 100 t-shirts that we got this fabulous designer to make for us and we thought the shirts were going to cost $28 but we're getting them at $7.50 We've started working on a larger fund raising project so that we can develop relationships with people locally but in order to do that we have to first of all figure out who we are and so we're writing up a vision statement for the Project for the first time ever and I've never wanted to write a vision statement before because then I'd feel bound to being exactly that for all time Writing down that I want to stop human trafficking globally is way too complex and can't be contained in a little vision statement without making us all feel super overwhelmed because our real goal is to free the world from enslavement but I'm not allowed to talk on the global level because I'm not allowed and that's all I can say about that But I am excited about what's happening in Europe and it might be that one of these days maybe sooner than later I'm going to move there but Europe isn't the most exciting place to move to It's too normal the food is normal the people are different than me but still the same genre as me Give me Asia Come to think of it I think I must be Asian because if I travel I really want to travel and Europe isn't real traveling I want to experience the craziness of Asian when I travel but Europe is so easy so normal I might as well stay in the US

not exactly the most interesting life
it sounds a lot like the beginnings of a poorly operated school project
there's not a lot to write about

changing the world is hard work
involving a lot more of the mundane than i ever thought it would
