Unit 4

Hi,

This week was a week of music. It was pretty nifty to see how the threads of music were woven together into a whole. My favorite experience this week was my introduction to a band called Pharaoh's Daughter. They are a wonderful and eclectic mix of traditional vocals and world music...it's just great.

I can't get the lines we draw out of my mind. Here in eastern Idaho there are quite a few lines in the sand. Some we draw and some are drawn for us. I think of the LDS/Mormon experience...they draw lines around themselves...they are chosen, they are blessed, they got all the answers. Some lines are drawn around them...they are cultists, they are polygamists, they're dangerous. The lines we draw and the lines that are drawn for us...it's so sad. There is so little black and white in the world...it's really, and I mean really all gray. We may thing that we are in one place experiencing one life and then low and behold...a shift of light and we find ourselves somewhere else, in a different place. Perhaps even our place in relation the ever present lines will have changed maybe were on this side now or maybe the lines have moved...it's all so wrong.
