Thoughts

I've really been wanting to blog more lately but I don't seem to have either the time or energy to get too serious about any one idea when it strikes me. All I seem to have are little snippets or seed ideas. I think "seed" is a good metaphor because if you look at a seed you really don't know what you are looking at. If you had never seen an orange seed you would not be able to guess that a tree would grow where you planted that seed and that tasty fruit would grow from it. So, like that, I have a few seeds in my mind but they seem so pathetically far from the oranges that I'm not sure they really do justice to all the stuff that is really packed inside.

For example, I've been really overwhelmed by the love of my friends lately. I've got some really cool friends and I am extremely thankful to God for each of them. But that sounds so cliche. It's just a seed. Those two sentences are dry, white, boring, little seeds. It feels impossible to really communicate the orange that I am tasting in my friendships.

All that to say, I am at a loss for words.

Now you are wondering if you are one of those oranges... and if you are reading this... you probably are. : )
