its been awhile since i have posted to the xanga. i have been reading and watching lots of things but i have also been falta the motivation to write about it which is kindof frustrating because i don't want to stop reflecting, if that makes any sense. so here's a feeble attempt to return to old habits that were lost in the busyness.

so that's pretty much what i want to say in this post. and that this book, "The Brothers K", incredible. i mean, at first you might think its a book about baseball but then you'll keep reading and realize you've never read anything like it before-- or at least i hadn't. beautiful, intense, heavy, hilarious, complicated, inspiring... the adjectives could go on and on. quotes and reflection to come. until then... read it.

The thing about Grey's Anatomy is that at first I thought, "its just a time passer", but then I realized that I am a visual- story- character type learner and processor and sometimes it just helps to cry it out over a TV show because then, when its time to wake up and face the day, it doesn't seem so impossible.

Sure, I don't always agree with the values, but I always agree with being real, with wrestling through it, and trying to give relationships-- of all kinds-- some sort of a place in your life.

But, hey, it is just a TV show after all...

Amazing book to equip those working in urban centers around the world, especially those working with the youth who have been pushed/drawn to the streets.  Unfortunately its out of print so you might have to do some digging to find it.  A wonderfully informative piece I would highly recommend.
