A Beautiful Thing...

So, I went to a poetry Open Mic event at a church this weekend (thanks Shar for the invite) and thoroughly enjoyed myself.  I was struck by the open-ness of the men -- yes, MEN -- who put their hearts on paper, poured their emotions on our anxious ears.  WOW!  I'm still in awe as I reminisce.  We were also entertained by a young saxophone player -- very talented and awe-inspiring.  Not to take anything away from the ladies who shared as well, I know that I can hardly wait for the next event.

To top it off, I went to the Grand Opening of The Cave, a multi-media environment for the community, powered by the church.  What an idea!  I'm thrilled to enjoy such activities.  All in all, this was a beautiful, creative, and fun weekend.  Who knew?
