My friend the Luddite
I am posting this mainly so he will look at it and giggle.I was leaving class this evening and received the best phone call in a long time. It was from my friend Curtis.
Curtis for those of you who don't know is one of the greatest people I know. He just recently moved to Wildhorse Canyon, the Young Life property in Antelope, OR. to do a year long internship there.
I had this dream about him a week or so ago, so it was nice to hear from him. Curtis is one of those friends that makes you feel like you are cuddled up by a fire, with a blanket, and a cup of cocoa in the middle of a blistering snow storm. He more often than not is the calm in the midst of a storm. Then again he can be the storm in the midst of the calm if he is being mischieveous.
Again being on the phone with him made me feel grounded again. When everything else is wrong, exhausting, or annoying he can always see the good in all of it.
No matter where I end up in this world, who I become, I know that I always have a place, in his friendship, to remind me who I am.
Below are the lyrics from a song that I love...I hope everybody has people in their lives like this.
Enjoy!
P.S. In case you didn't know a luddite is a person who resists technology.
If I live to be a hundred
And never see the seven wonders
That'll be alright
If I don't make it to the big leagues
If I never win a Grammy
I'm gonna be just fine
'Cause I know exactly who I am
I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends who love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am
So when I make big mistake
When I fall flat on my face
I know I'll be alright
Should my tender heart be broken
I will cry those teardrops knowin'
I will be just fine
'Cause nothin' changes who I am
I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends who love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am
I'm a saint and I'm a sinner
I'm a loser, I'm a winner
I'm am steady and unstable
I am young but I'm able
