I am back from a wild ride spanning from NYC to Chicago to Columbus to Canada to NYC back to Columbus. The details rest in my heart and mind at this point. I am supposed to be working today, but they called me off. So now i’m catching up on the internet and watching Betty clean up the house. We are having guests this week. The sisters will reunite for a mid year picnic otherwise known as ComFEST. Of course if you are from Columbus you know this festival. It has the potential to be the greatest weekend of the year here. This will be my 13th year. I have participated in most of the last 13 years, although I skipped playing in 2000 and 2001 for reasons I just realized…’the life you save may be your own’ (Flannery O’connor)… loving thru the madness, picking up the pieces, finding places to put all these things; and my heart, though opened, still experiences fear… and the fear of losing something you just found, can be paralyzing.  So I’ll ride out the mayhem and remember that ‘clarity is freedom’ (St. Teresa of Avila)…
