but we're gonna give it to ya" -I'm From Barcelona
Well I let Jonas know that I'm sorry, I can't be his disciple. But he's ok with it.
"I don't necessarily need anyone for my revolution. I'll be able to do it on my own."
Also, I believe he's bipolar. It's really sad. He gets really depressed sometimes. He'll be laughing and talking away about philosophy for hours, and next moment he's sitting there staring at the ground, unable to speak, with pain and weariness in his eyes.
I can tell he's a lonely, hurting man who has suffered much. And there are millions like him, everywhere we go. I wish there was something that could be done to help them all. But I think the only the thing we are called to do -and can do, for that matter- is love them. Love them, one at a time, love them, and let God work through that.
It makes me chuckle to see how everyone else is writing about having children and graduating from school and being responsible, and I'm here writing about hanging out with crazy people on the streets! I love how different we all are, and that I still fit in with you guys! Thanks for still loving me even when I decide to run away and not care about anything. Don't worry though, I'm almost done with this season. I'm going to go to school in the fall. I plan to transfer to the Denver REI when I get home, and maybe even find a house or apartment to live in. It will be nice to have a place to paint again.
Peace be with you!

Micah, you're amazing! You need to write a book someday. It would be my new favorite.
i totally agree with emily! what you're doing is awesome, and i wish i'd had the get-up-n-go to do something similar in my younger years. and i didn't know you painted! i'd love to see some when you get a chance!
I think I might write a book. I really want to. I've already started actually. I'll send you guys some samples or something, and you'll have to let me know what you think.
Also, I have a few old paintings on my myspace. I'll show you some new stuff soon.
Seriously, Micah, I love you and you are fantastic!!
Definitely, definitely write a book! Actually, I've been reading a book lately that reminds me of you. It's called "The Irresistible Revolution" by Shane Claiborne. Check it out if you get the chance. I think you'd like it.
oh i love that book! one of my favs. one of the inspirations actually, for this whole journey.
There's always time to be responsible later. Live out the exciting stuff while you can!!!
