had a great weekend. went to bed saturday night around 8pm, and slept through til 6:30 sunday morning. it's amazing what can be healed while you are dreaming. i ended up calling my neighbor annie at 7 am because she is the only other human i know who is up that early. she said "i am going to the 8am mass downtown that the cathedral, wanna come?"
normally i do not consider myself a religious person, i was kind of raised catholic, or at least went through the motions. but i do depend heavily on God in general.. i have never been to the semi-new cathedral and i love hymns and figured "why not? and i may run into alanna lin perhaps and hear some good stuff.."

there was a lot of rituals i could do without, but the main message for the day was exactly what i needed to hear~
knowing where you are going. road maps, thomas guides, mapquest, google maps, having a friend tell you "follow me, i'll get us there!" and then immediately losing them in traffic, etc.

the message was that in this life, we don't get a map..because we don't need one. there is someone sitting in the passenger seat with us at all times and we are never alone.

i had breakfast with annie, a lunch visit with another dear woman i know, and then spent a few hours helping out on a movie set with a gang of friends who are all in or helping out on a movie written and directed by my friend beth dewey.

last night the genitals got together, we began to write a new song for an animated show in the works. it is a sweet and hilarious muppet-like melody where everyone sings and we laughed all night. it is amazing how much better my life is when i can put away thoughts of the past, worries and fears of the future, take a deep breath and get off of the emotional rollercoaster.
just relax knowing that i am never alone and that i am truly loved.
