Hierophanies

Went out with the girls tonight. We watched Juno. Good movie.. Fable-like... in my opinion. The movie is about teen pregnancy, abortion, adoption, love... a very universal story --simultaneously mundane and spiritual. We took the T to Park Street and walked to the movie theater.. talked about small city mindsets and worldviews in comparison with those the ppl in/from big cities have.. criticized the NY Times cartoonist... talked about maps and borders and transnationalism... about women's liberation.. about hierophanies.. and about taking the last train...
The last time I took the last train, I was in Madrid.. and the whole outing felt so much like my outings with Scott and Peter --well, except of course, I went out with girls this time. I enjoyed it a lot. Ceme's friend is swimming with the polar bear group tomorrow morning. I think it's wonderfully outrageous... and she's been doing it for three years! It's insane, and I haven't done something insane in a long time.
I suppose we all need it once in a while.. the sacred, the mundane, and the hierophanies that bring them together... The chaotic insanity and the clean-cut & rational... the fables that ring painfully true... The outings that remind you that all of this exists, and that you so deeply enjoy the craziness of the world.
