Up With People

It's been a great weekend. I had some good time with the little chick, but also had some time to be with old friends, to meet new ones, and to explore a really, really wide variety of relationships. Between having a couple different groups in for dinner, hitting the Swiss rugby finals, giving some coaching on sound engineering for our church sounds crew and then spending some time with a friend tonight, it's been a really social time... and I've loved it. Not much time to take pictures, mixer is still in the shop, but it's been great just to think about the wide variety of people that I have in my life, and the richness it brings.

I'm pretty tired now, and need to call my dad (cause it's Fathers' Day), but I'm left with this kind of residue from the contact I've had with some very wonderful people over the last few days that is very special. It feels like it's kind of sticking to me... the conversations are over, the meals are finished, but the "why" in response to so many things - why I choose to spend my time and energy the way I do, perhaps why I am here (in Geneva) or here (earth), why it matters - is just a little more solid than it was before. And that's a good thing.
