it bugs me sometimes when i see how dependent i am on the things of this world. i expect food to be in my stomach at least 3 times a day, people to reply to my messages/texts, and that im going to have enough money to make it through the month ahead. ive spent the last two days with my dear friends travis henry martz and nicholas james fetner spending around two american dollars for each meal or even searching for food in dumpsters behind grocery stores in the middle of the night. we have reached all these food destinations via scooter, bicycle, or even walking on our own two feet. its so much more fun than driving.
ive been living at both of their houses during these adventures and we cant stop talking about living the simple way. the life of the simple way is the story of the struggle to love and to be loved. the most radical thing you can do is choose to love each other... again and again. next summer travis is riding his bike across the country to miami, FL where he will then fly to india to do whatever it is God is calling him to do. thats love.

I must go on an adventure like that. Nothing sounds better than trying to figure out ways to get by in a society that desires money without using money.
you're precious and i miss your face. i'm getting tired of telling you to ride your bike to phoenix so just do it now.
