surfin on the sofa

last night in Taipei, while watching Fantastic Four movie on cable, I got to the part where Silver Surfer creates a huge crater in the earth. Then, the sofa started rocking.

Felt stronger than the 9-21 earthquake to me.

While listening to Steve's songs, especially the song with the liturgical flavor called "Yahweh, You are Near," I had to pause and enjoy some delicious, reverent memories of hearing that song sung in some of the Cathedrals I'd worshipped in as a boy, during the Catholic renewal movement. It was a good time of refreshing, one spurred on by a long-lasting friendship and a running conversation. Here's to more running conversations! Bry
