It's been a busy and distracting several days, but they've been amazing. Timely. Informative and connective. With David and Julia and all of us. Lauren was down yesterday and left today. We've had dinners and laughter, but tensions (Tommy/me only) and helpful observations. Challenges for me keeping my perspective and also accepting Jen in a way where church talk was an issue for me. There's a lot going on below all of this surface, and I am working on paying attention more than documenting right now. I'm learning and realizing many things - David's identity and experiences/paths, Julia's too, all the intersections of all these parallel lines bent by the energy of the others. I am getting behind in writing and capturing all of this - that'll change with my new routine starting Tuesday with AM writing periods.
