last sunday lane ayo took some photos of our third Casa Soupiset house concert,
hailing from woodland park, colorado, tim and laurie are the blackthorn project.
my mandolin never sounded so good.
more house concerts to come. if you weren't on the invitation list, contact me and i'll add you.
today i went with some of the netzer co-op monastics to visit some of their homeless friends at a campsite just east of austin and to help tackle some of the piles of garbage just up the hill from their tents. if you're interested, ask me in person, and i'll tell you about the experience. i've posted a photo gallery if you want a glimpse.
after engaging comes reflection, and i've been struck with how difficult it is to not be at least a little colonialist about spending time around our homeless friends. tim and his crew are really thinking deeply, theologically, about this. about relational time-spent. about our tendency to want to always bring something. or buy something or fix things. it's good to wrestle with those questions. and at the same time to be willing to share with anyone who has need.
the kingdom of heaven is like the [actual] fig tree that was planted, watered, and encircled with small stones today.
may it produce fruit.
