i have been in homestead,florida the entire month of june.
not as johnston michaels or the black willy wonka...but as a human.
NOT on vaca' !
NOT on a retreat
NOT even on missionary duty
... just learning to humble myself before middle school kids from this local migrant community.
MY LORD,ive had several SELAH moments here!
some of these moments simply involved inhaling.
other moments were quite revelatory and introspective.
i mean...i call myself an advocate of communal/tribal living. but honestly,i dont breathe much anymore.up north i have gotten lost in the rubble of fast living, pollution, schedules & short term goals.
im slightly afraid to go back to philly because for the past 4 weeks i have been consumed by tides in a place where there's no space or time... concerning myself solely with the well being of my students and colleagues.embracing everyone with pure intentions. and morphing myself into a solar powered vehicle[ moving to move others]. how rephreshing.
and now more than ever, i realize that...
i just want to help people. i want to L.O.V.E.
& i desire that L.O.V.E. not be some acronym for a larger cause. but to just be love.
i dont want my humanity to exist only in UTOPIA.
folks,i have begun living.
breathing starts now...
Humbly yours,
Jonathan Wise
