the one where limbo happened


imagine, if you will, a place that seems too good to be true.

utopian in every sense of the word, all gathered may feel at home.

none without questions, none with all the answers.

many seeking something, some thing.

all thinkers, because thinking is ok.

all questioners, because questions are required.

all honest, none beyond reproach.

none beyond approach.

most looking to learn something. about some thing.

readers.

tv-ers.

internet-obsessed-ers.

all looking to do something. for some thing.

this is new.

but it is old.

there is nothing new under the sun.

or, is there?

probably not that you can find in huffman.

or, maybe there is.

what have we done wrong?

what can we do to change it?

"what about me?"

"what about you?"

it's not about the numbers.

it's about the process.

it's about the feeling.

it's spiritual, man.

dude, it's like, dude...

imagine, if you will, a place that seems too good to be true.

utopian in every sense of the word. all gathered may feel at home.

one sunday down.

how many to go?

is this open-ended?

is this like-minded?

is it for everyone? for every one?

listen for the answer.

then listen harder for "the why".

"the why" is all that matters.

why should you?

why should i?

to whom is this addressed?

collect it now.

address it later.

"if you build it, they will come."

is that the point?

imagine, if you will, a place that seems to good to be true.

redemption.

worth.

check.

your head.

you're ahead.

for now.

create in me a clean heart.

invite everyone. invite every one.

why?

we'll figure it out.

will it be worth it?

will you?

that's a lot of gas.

that's a lot of time.

that's a lot to swallow.

blink.

blink.

find your "thin place".

what if this is it?

"hate is baggage."

imagine, if you will, a place that seems too good to be true.

...

...

now, make it happen.

Very cool. By the way, have you ever said why it's called Limbo? I was wondering that.

For some reason, as I read this I was hearing it in my head like the whispers on Lost. Eh...whatever.

Oh and the name. I could tell you the literal meaning, but I'm sure Kevin has a figurative comparison that sounds better so I'll pass that one to him.
