- The sky is always epic (not in the "epic" meaning cool way but epic as in Wagner epic- large and overwhelming to the senses). The lack of hills allows one to see for miles and there are always clouds.
- I have met a lot of people from various demographics. No matter background, income, or faith some people are wonderful people and others are terrible. This seems like important information.
- There is something nice about the demystification of human relationships. Honesty allows for a greater understanding of truth and more completely reveals higher concepts such as love and beauty.
- There have been two incidental references to Sandman by Neil Gaimon. 1) Once Brother Mike accidentally woke me up from a nap and apologized for distrurbing Morpheus (this was a reference to Greek mythology but I immediately thought of Sandman). 2) The kids play a game of words on the bus. The point is to name an animal or thing that can beat the other person's. This goes back and forth until a person concedes or can not think of a superior alternative. This game was played by the Sandman in Hell with a lesser demon. One of my favorite parts of the series.
- I listen to music a lot.
- I miss my friends and family. This might not seem like something one enjoys but I can't really think of a time previous to this when I have actually missed anyone. I have disliked places and have wanted to leave. I have wanted comfort in what is familiar. I can't remember missing people and being happy/content in my current location. It's new and that makes it sort of exciting.
- I am reading a book called Transcending All Understanding and the Star Wars graphic novels. Both have rich insight into the human condition and the importance of stories and the lives we construct. Also, one has lightsabers. It's difficult not to enjoy that.
