Finding it on the Wings...




It is apparent I have been bitten with the blogging bug today. This is the third one and I could keep churning out the blog hits. (Aside: I find it imperative every time I use any humour associated with "blog" that I include the word "blog"... so, blog blog blog blog bolggity blog bloggerston)

Backwards it is just as whimsical....

GOLB (and is sounds a bit like a growth of some sort)

And I am back with you and off the Tangent Train. :-)

(I had a delightful several hour conversation and am now returning to the writing. Normally I would delete this as my tone and demeanor are in a different place now, but I like the initial paragraph of this and think that any posting with the word "bloggity" deserves some screen time.)

Because I feel the need to be ludicrously honest about the oddest things, I will share that the original title of this entry was "Transparent" and it was going to be a lengthy one... I shall save that for a later date as it is 2:43 am and I am quite fatigued.

Back to the conversation.... I certainly do not want to jinx anything and although I write about my emotional eccentricities and intricacies, I make it a point (and decided early on in the creation of my blog) not to divulge OTHERS' stories... but I shall share this:

The past two nights have been filled with enlightening, intoxicating, refreshing, delicious, and unexpected telephone talky time with a man that is

SuRpRiSiNg.

I hope to get to know some more of his story. Who knows where it will lead, but I can honestly say I have rarely been this charmed and intrigued.

ENCHANTING, he is....

On this I shall keep you posted in a different fashion as I am rather private about.... well, fill in the blank for yourself.

The snowy evening has been like a blanket of purpose, a friend I always welcome back for a nice hot cup of tea and make sure he knows he always has a place to rest his weary head.

Playing on the laptop is Sandi Patty's 1994 release entitled "Find it on the Wings". The title track is currently playing and this particular lyric is touching me:

For every dream we lose
There's another one to dream that will come true
Whenever clouds roll in
We'll look high enough to see the rainbow's end
We'll play in the sunshine - we'll dance in the moonlight
We'll sing in the hard times
And find it on the wings - we'll find it on the wings of love

For every heart that breaks
There'll be joy that comes along to take its place
For every time we fall
A voice will pick us up to hear a higher call
We'll play in the sunshine - we'll dance in the moonlight
We'll sing in the hard times
And find it on the wings - we'll find it on the wings of love

May you encounter the word bloggity in your days, drink tea with the snowman, and find it on the wings,
Dustin

I Love the Clarks

I LOVE THE CLARKS!!!!!!!!!!!! (I used twelve exclamation marks/points to show the significance of the love and because twelve is my cosmic number.) It is that simple. Jay and Karen (and the illustrious Quin) allowed me to move into their lovely home under the proviso I would be out in a few days. Well that was October 18th and, look at your calendar folks, I am still here. I think that finally the light has bounced off of a nimbus cloud that I have not seen before and I might have a dwelling. But... I LOVE these two people. They just get me and leave me to my own devices. In this time where I have sequestered myself off into my own little respite lair, they have let me "do my own thing". And they are such lovely, talented, decent people. It has been my honour to get to know them more and their ultimate collaboration, THE Quin. He is the COOLEST child ever. I adore the boy. Tonight Jay, Karen, and I played a card game called Nerts. I am addicted and I saw new shades ...

Holiday Homage Part Six: THE Sam

This summer whilst doing "Sweeney", I met Sam Pettit. I was focused on bringing Anthony to life, so throughout the show and backstage I was serious, quiet, reflective.  This guy brought life to the backstage.  He is JOY.  There was a performance in which he could not "attend the tale" and the show was different, lacking somehow. He is a high school senior and has the lovable qualities of youth: exuberance, unparalleled energy, a need to learn, and... He is pleasantly himself. He has a real sense of who he is and that is a rarity in someone so young. He dares to be different, but in an organic way, not to rebel and for that I respect him.  He is more aware than some I know twice his age.   We have kept in touch throughout the months.  When I am pensive or dwelling in the darkness, he is a light of hilarity.   I do not know where Sam's course will lead him, but I am profoundly grateful that it lead him to me this summer. He is such a raw talent with the ability to...

The Kick Ass Brothers (And the Theatre Room I Am Going to Steal)

I just spent the day with my brothers, Bran Flakes and Patricio watching "Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood", "Sin City", and "Live Free or Die Hard" in Bran Flake's KICK ASS KICK ASS KICK ASS Theatre Room. (It deserves all three kick asses and then some actually.) It was a Testosterone Day and I made it all the way through. Can we say the same for Patricio? (Titty baby. Ha.) I think that was the first blog smack talk I have "thrown down". I had never seen "Sin City" or "Live Free or Die Hard". Both were excellent. I did not want to leave the nirvana that is the magic room of cinema wonder. So, thanks to Bran Flakes for hosting and for having the idea. And Patrick, let me know how that nipple is treating you. Here's to smack talk... How liberating! (Especially when I am in control of the forum!) Here's to a kick ass theatre room. And to even more kick ass brothers, Dustin
