cups to share

at Mtm we are a group of totally broken and messed up people who have come together to laugh, to try to learn to have relationships that matter and have a chance to last, and to try to live a different way than the life as usual we see around us in this country.

i was told recently that this country is getting lonelier and lonelier - and i agree - we do not value what is really important - we spend tons of time entertaining but not much time really being...we spend gobs of time impressing and statussing (if it's not a word, it is now!) but not much time loving...we spend lots of time achieving but not much time being real in the middle of and at the end of, our achievements...we spend lots of energy commenting on relationships, but not much time gutting through the messiness of them.

at Mtm we are pushing back against all this.  we are trying anyway.  turns out it's hard.  but, turns out it is also wonderful and real and full and good.  turns out it is the only way that really is worth doing anymore...

we would like to share this with you - we are like one of my friends said the other day - like the sample cups at pink walrus - when we get together every other Thursday at Mtm, 645-800pm at McAllister Recreation Center, Lafayette - we give a sample of what this life is like - and there is no charge.  Plus we almost always have good food and free childcare.  it is definitely worth a try - and we hope you will join us - all are welcome - we are a group of all ages from newborn to way past retired and of many experiences and backgrounds...

we will next be hanging out this Thursday evening the 3rd of September.  hope to see you there
