There is not room for Death,
Nor atom that his might could render void:
Thou - Thou art Being and Breath,
And what Thou art may never be destroyed.

~Emily Bronte


Happy Easter my lovelies.

we now no longer camp as for a night, but have settled down on earth and forgotten heaven.  
~henry david thoreau

my little heart is longing for adventures lately.

for warmer spring days to go camping, for roasting marshmallows and making smores, for day hikes to the top of a mountain and eating lunch surrounded by the beautiful view, for the serenity of down time next to a campfire with my best friend.

where do you go to get away from it all?

So was I once myself a swinger of birches.
And so I dream of going back to be....

I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree~
And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk
Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,
But dipped its top and set me down again.

That would be good both going and coming back.
One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.
   {Robert Frost}

Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behaviour. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them—if you want to. Just as some day, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.
~ J.D. Salinger

"general opinion is starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but i don't see that. it seems to me that love is everywhere. often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. when the planes hit the twin towers, as far as i know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. if you look for it, i've got a sneaking suspicion... love actually is all around."

{starting forever}

thirty years from now
they'll look back and wonder how
they were just as in love then
as they are now



all his strengths will cover up all her weaknesses
and her fortes will be as deep-ended seas
all her strengths will cover up all his weaknesses
and his fortes will be as deep-ended seas

- lyrics by Corey Crowder

What's so wrong with being personal, anyway?

Whatever else anything is, it ought to begin by being personal.

what are we but {mice and men}

i want to watch the sunrise

every day in your eyes

-- Nate Nelson, musician

today i am thankful {for}

vanilla soy creamer in my coffee

movies from netflix

chocolate chip cookies

K's delicious cheesy scrambled eggs

library books

but most of all, i am thankful for my K

we are in love,

he is truly my best friend,

and i get to marry him

i am so very blessed by this man i will call husband

In marriage we marry a mystery, an other, a counterpart. In a sense the person we marry is a stranger about whom we have a magnificent hunch. The person we choose to marry is someone we love, but his depths, her intimate intricacies - we will come to know only in the long unraveling of time. We know enough about our beloved to know that we love him, to imagine that, as time goes on, we will come to enjoy her even more, become even more of ourselves in her presence.

We'd fit it all inside our front hall.

to ever see the light that you gave.
