Genn - UM Marching Band

This is just a quick post. I promise to follow up with all the pictures and video soon. I went to visit Genn in Missoula (Shelli and Ben too). I watched Genn and the University of Montana Marching Band practice and then perform on Saturday 11-1-08 at the game against Northern Arizona.

Life

Courtesy of Genn; she found this poem amoungst other posts in the daycare staff area where she now works.

I love this life, I love the layers.

There is so much to be learned,

and I tend to forget that.

Each "crisis" is really a very spiritual opportunity,

though it can be hard to see

when you are underneath it.

We are blessed with such love and light in this life,

and I hope to hang onto that without forgetting

that it is always with me.

It never leaves, it is constant.

It is our duty as human beings

to enjoy the gift of this life.

We have been promised a short trip here,

then back to home again.

Try to find the beauty in every day,

even when it's not so pretty.

Its there.

It is the ONE constant.

Don't lose sight of it, it's there, it's in you,

it is who you truly are.

It is easy to miss, but it's there.

Trust it, it hasn't gone anywhere.

Changes

Family life is full of major and minor crises -- the ups and downs of health, success and failure in career, marriage, and divorce -- and all kinds of characters. It is tied to places and events and histories. With all of these felt details, life etches itself into memory and personality. It's difficult to imagine anything more nourishing to the soul. - Thomas Moore


I was perusing through this blog the other day and realized it would be a shame for it not to continue. Hopefully all who can contribute will. It's fun to see your road trips and milestones. I will start contributing again myself.

Love,
Mum
