| | spiritual narratives....Today started out with the early morning breakfast shift. I LOVE the morning shift. There's something peaceful about it. Roger is great. He doesn't talk to you for the first 30 minutes or so and then (when you've woken up more) he'll start chatting with you about life and all sorts of interesting things. It's good therapy for anyone especially for people like me when we're in odd moods like I've been in the past few days.
After breakfast we went to class and talked about BRASIL! It was great. I really want to learn Portuguese and I'd love to go to Brasil sometime. It's fun to see Cindy excited about a place and people that she loves very much. We spent a lot of time talking about food, which was funny but really cool at the same time. Food has become a much more important topic of conversation for me while I've been here.
After class I went into Easton, it was a lovely spring-like day, and walked around with Ali and Vicky (who was visiting for the weekend) until we decided to eat lunch at Todd's Market. After lunch we walked over to Coffee East and I tried to read "Coming to Peace with Science" but was a little too sleepy. I just closed my eyes and let my thoughts wander. They haven't been very organized these days.
We got back to Osprey Point in time for a lecture from Roman Williams about "Spiritual Narratives in Everyday Life" we chatted about the recent Pew Report and talked about new paradigms in religion 1) Permeable Boundaries 2) Portable Practices and Narratives 3) Dynamic Religion and Spirituality. It was really cool and refreshing in a lot of ways.
I have so much writing to do and so much I want to read. I feel like a failure because I've read so much less recently than I've wanted to.
