What would I say?

Inspired by Karen, I though I’d write about: What would I blog about today? I’d blog about how uninspired I’ve been the past few weeks. Or about how it seems I’ve been living for everyone else but myself. Or maybe I’d write about my latest dream – to travel the country and visit all the out-of-the-way wineries in states like Missouri, Tennessee, Ohio, Oklahoma, Virginia and so on – and then write a book about it. Perhaps I’d write about how I have a tough time letting people see through this protective shell of mine. Or I could write about how I love being Catholic, and how my wife is – I think – starting to work through her anger at how the church (mis)handled the priest sex abuse issue, and has actually come to Mass with us a few times this past month. And I could write about how I have had my hopes high only to be dashed by something-or-other. Maybe I could write about how I have a hard time letting go of all this crap. Ah, detachment – great concept, tough implementation.

Or maybe I could write about how I plead with God to be lifted above my two-dimensional plane, struggling to see my world as he sees it. Or I could write about how faith has helped me persevere and make it this far, against fairly high odds. I suppose I could write about how I just want a break from all the work, the pressure and the uncertainty.

Maybe, just maybe, I could get this Dave Matthews song out of my head. What would you say?

what would you say...that was the first dmb song that i ever heard. i remember being on the "success" bus in the morning on my way to high school my freshman year. i kinda grew out of 'em though. been longing for those summers of frantic lyrics lately.

A blog post about what you are thinking about posting and blogging...that's something different!

I'd say how much I like it when Steve lets us see inside his head. I'd say that I had no idea there were wineries in Missouri, Tennessee, Ohio, Oklahoma, Virginia. I'd say how glad I am that his wife is starting to heal. I'd say that being on the journey with someone like Steve who loves the church, and spiritual disciplines, is such a privilege. Yeah, I'd say something like that.
