Alright, alright it is a lame title. I admit this entirely. It is in honor of my official move to the world of Spanish Harlem. Crazy, eclectic Spanish Harlem. Not entirely my move, of course--Brunno and I both slaved away to carry our entire apartment's worth of shit from the corner of Rich and Wealthy to the corner of Gentrification and Mohammed the deli man. The atmosphere is one of Attraversiamo as well--everything is sort of in the middle of changing. Our building is a mix of those that are gentrifying the place and their victims. When we were moving things on Saturday the whole place smelled like collard greens and chicken.. mmmmm..
(*Special shout out to N, L, B, & T for their major help with our move..)
B thinks this will be good for me..to experience different cultures and learn to live in diverse environments. I agree. It's a new challenge, but as i have already been discovering, that is surely what life is all about.
I want to talk for a short minute about what it means to have faith. I think i may also be in the midst of a faith transition as well. I think that a certain someone special in my life is allowing my faith to come back. I am beginning to see a connection between all of these transitions in my life and the agency that it takes to make them--that there is some higher being controlling it all. I am not even talking most about things like moving or getting married. I am more talking about the day-to-day, and feeling a connection with the people and places around you. I am saying prayers from different religions, all sort of leading me towards an understanding of what I want regarding faith, and how it will affect me.
A special thanks to my love, who is continuously helping me learn, grow, and become the woman I want to be.
