Today I helped paint Miss Eula’s kitchen and then I started work on a mural at Carpenter’s 2. I also made a sign for them.
Tonight we got to hear Jonah talk about his experience here. I loved that he said hanging with Christians really helped change his perspective in Life… some of us are still doing a good job! He’s right about how fucked up a lot of shit is here, but I think he’s also right that if everyone’s heart were in the right place, there’d be no need for things like lowernine.org, things would just be handled.
So I’m way at the point that I don’t care about being dirty and that simple things are what matter. My blisters and bruises and aches and knee problems and allergic reactions don’t bother me nearly as much as they would at home. I want my head to stay where it is and I am pretty afraid that it won’t. I feel like I need to get people here. I feel like I need to get back here. I need to send these kids cookies and cigarettes.
I dunno.
