I had a bit of a...I won't say it's a religious experience, but something came down from the ether to touch my direction and guide me...and I need to sit in quiet for a lot longer before I really understand enough to share the feeling it brought me.
It started when I went to what used to be the Transco Tower, by the Galleria, and saw the trees...which had been saplings when I moved to Houston...were now, of course, fully grown and giving lovely shade. And were mitigating the spray from the fountain, in the breeze.
And how the Transco Tower looked as new as ever, even though it was designed 45 years ago. Philip Johnson did an amazing job creating a building for the ages.
I then went to a used bookstore and found a biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer that convinced me to buy it...
...After which, I spent some time at Rothko Chapel. Just sitting in the quiet of it. And came to see what Simon's story could be.
As mentioned, I'm still contemplating what's come over me...but wanted to put a place-holder for it in my mind and intentions.
