shadowy sketches of emotion and thought

"His house was perfect, whether you liked food, or sleep, or work, or story-telling, or singing, or just sitting and thinking, best, or a pleasant mixture of them all." Tolkein

It has been said...

"...the events that led me to comprehend that art can transform pain." Roman Polanksi

"Women have a thirst for order and beauty as for something physical; there is a strange female power of hating ugliness and waste as good men can only hate sin and bad men virtue." Chesterton

"The riddles of God are more satisfying than the solutions of man." Chesterton

"To the humble man, and to the humble man alone, the sun is really a sun; to the humble man, and to the humble man alone, the sea is really a sea." Chesteron

"Men do change, and change comes like a little wind that ruffles the curtains at dawn, and it comes like the stealthy perfume of wildflowers hidden in the grass." Steinbeck

"Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." Lewis

"We're not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be." Lewis

Monday List of Three

1. Cafe Today coffee - Strong and greasy, but with a little cream it is all that stands between me and deep sleep.
2. To do list - PERS research, In-classroom spending, sociology reading, poetry, Starr townhall, exercise
3. Songs for Faith Felicity - Life Ain't Always Beautiful

Life ain't always beautiful, somedays I miss your smile,
I get tired of walking all these lonely miles
and I wish for just one minute, I can see your pretty face,
cuz I can dream but life don't work that way
But the struggles make me stronger, and the changes make me wise,
and happiness has its own way of taking its sweet time.
No, Life ain't always beautiful, but I know I'll be fine,
Hey Life ain't always beautiful, but it's a beautiful ride,
what a beautiful ride...

Good luck on the to do list... a man that conquers exercise and blogging all in the same day is not really a man at all, but a God!; 9:04 AM
