"Here we never shall grow old..."
Winter's finally set in, for good this time. So no more chances for days like these for a while...








summed up by my favorite poem, by e e cummings (that is not my favorite poem by e e cummings, but my favorite poem, which happens to be written by mr. cummings)

i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun’s birthday; this is the birth
day of life and of love and wings: and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any–lifted from the no
of all nothing–human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

This is totally random, I know, but do you know Meredith Bradshaw, Karisa Austin, or Laurel Drake?

I met them in Ukraine actually. I was an intern for the summer doing English camps, and they came over with their youth group to help at one of the camps. I've kept in touch since then, and they are some dear friends. I love Huntsville! Small world.
