For now...

* I can hear the girls laughing in the other room

* This weather is so refreshing. It makes me feel out of control...in the best sense.

...."Listen to me," cried Syme.... "Shall I tell you the secret of the whole world? It is that we have only known the back of the world. We see everything from behind, and it looks brutal. That is not a tree, but the back of a tree. That is not a cloud, but the back of a cloud. Cannot you see that everything is stooping and hiding a face? If we could only get round in front-"....G.K.C. (The Man Who was Thursday) 

* If I could choose to be anywhere - it would be right here - exactly where I am.

* You should see the way the rays of sun are creeping through the house. There's one above my bed and I have no idea how it got there.

You will not sleep, if you lie there a thousand years, until you have opened your hand and yielded that which is not yours to give or to withhold. You may think you are dead, but it will be only a dream; you may think you have come awake, but it will still be only a dream. Open your hand, and you will sleep indeed- then wake indeed. - George Macdonald (Lilith)

* Don't ever take shadows for granted. They're too extraordinary. 

* There's a robin fluffing it's feathers just out my window...wonder what it's like to be so brightly colored

Some also have wished that the next way to their Father's house were here, that they might be troubled no more with either Hills or Mountains to go over; but the way is the way, and there's an end. - Bunyan 

that is all.
