ive spent the day reading Thomas Merton's New Seeds of Contemplation and finding the most recent new hampshire election results. for some reason, both give me the same feeling. TM's words are so thoughtful and complex but simple. and so is this election...maybe...sorry TM. the election is something i don't completely understand, yet willingly take part in because its something i must do. i feel full of paradoxes when i'm thinking about candidates: i think none of them have integrity, yet i think that all humans have value and potential. i think the leading candidates are inherently less authentic, but i also believe that they are best for the job because of that.
well, TM is much more interesting in almost every way. i feel like i can't say anything or else i'd have to say everything. but one cool thing was about peace...and how its not always felt. and if its pursued on its own, for its own sake, its not possible to obtain.
california? lovely. looking towards my last semester of college? painful and unavoidably enticing. i'm anxious to go back...to see my friends and all that, but sad that its ending. I feel better about it from here. i guess i can see the big picture better. guatemala...life really begins here when schooling is finished.
family is more an more important. knowing my country is more and more important.
thats all for now.
