Coldplay/Togetherness

Listening to song "X&Y" on Coldplay album (see how old I am? I should say CD) of the same name: the lyrics go "you and me are drifting into outerspace" and/or "floating on a tidal wave," followed by the word "together." If you listen to the repetitions, however, it sounds like "to get there." Such an interesting idea of not being able to get anywhere alone, that we must be together to get there. I could preach that somehow in a sermon about community....the faith walk/Christian journey is never alone. In this "me culture" of the U.S. and the egotism I see around me (here I am writing about me, again! My whole blog is an homage to myself!), it's difficult for us to remember to focus on the communion of all the saints.

Speaking of togetherness, I graduate at the end of this week and I expect a lot of loved ones to gather together with me! :-) Hopefully I can remember that it's not all about me, but about serving the Christian community....

Heard a wonderful choral chamber music concert yesterday -- one piece written by a good friend -- wonderful blending of voices.... The whole so much more resonant than the part.... Also a celebration of the visual arts -- paintings and photographs (one submitted by me!) -- same theme, in an adjacent building -- celebrating multiple talents and ways of interacting with one another and our world....

OK, enough peace and harmony (!). Off to therapy to get my head screwed on right again!
