Great time so far in Portland. Very much reminds me of all the great things about Cincinnati (river, rain, trees, laid back feel) and the great things about Los Angeles (mountains, environmentalism, health minded, spiritual). The final answer: I could totally live here. Does that mean I am moving? Alison and I talked about that yesterday as she was checking out Portland State. God would have to give me some good reasons and open doors like he did with the move to LA for me to actually pull the trigger, but I would not be opposed.
I met Susan Isaacs. How I love that woman! I knew from reading her new book "Angry Conversations with God," that we would totally hit it off, and we did! We're going out to dinner tonight. My prayer is that it will be the beginnings of a wonderful relationship.
And yes, I met Don. He is truly just a guy, and a beautiful one at that. He recognized my name from Twitter. He is so warm and real and sweet... It must be so hard to have a relationship with someone when it would be so lopsided. Like I know so much about him and his past, and he knows nothing of me. How do you navigate conversation with that basis and NOT sound like a creepy stalker? "Do you remember that time when you were living in community and you had that really cool room in the attic, and you wouldn't wash housemate's dishes, and....?" AWKWARD.
Sigh. Lord, you know how I feel. You know what's best for me. You know WHO'S best for me. Even if he is... "just a guy..."
