general notice

Apartment pictures shall be postponed until the wall decorations decide that they actually want to stay on the walls (i.e. until the humidity leaves). That is all.

this afternoon I went to see a film with my roommates,
and then walked back to my apartment . . .

. . . it was of those films that fills your head with thoughts* . . .

There is a patch of grass that wasn't trimmed,
but taking root and gaining stability is more important than conformity

The sun is shining and the wind is gently moving my skirt
Why must I walk into artificial light? the hallway looks so gloomy

I always think I want to be alone (too)
but then I never really do

What do we gain in growing up?
and, what do we lose in lack of companionship?

*which makes me think of a quote by Tennessee Williams . . . .

"Men pity and love each other more deeply than they permit themselves to know. . . . So successfully have we disguised from ourselves the intensity of our own feelings, the sensibility of our own hearts, that plays in the tragic tradition have begun to seem untrue. For a couple of hours we may surrender ourselves to a world of fiercely illuminated values in conflict, but when the stage is covered and the auditorium lighted, almost immediately there is a recoil of disbelief. 'Well, well!' we say as we shuffle back up the aisle, while the play dwindles behind us with the sudden perspective of an early Chirico painting. "

majesty

"O Lord, our Lord,

how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory above the heavens.

Out of the mouth of babies and infants,

you have established strength because of your foes,

to still the enemy and the avenger.

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

what is man that you are mindful of him,

and the son of man that you care for him?

Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings

and crowned him with glory and honor.

You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;

you have put all things under his feet,

all sheep and oxen,

and also the beasts of the field,

the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,

whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

O Lord, our Lord,

how majestic is your name in all the earth!" 

~Psalm 8

". . . and all were astonished at the majesty of God." 

~Luke 9:43

Thank you Lord for your majesty 

and thank you Lord for the people you have put in my life that continue to direct me to your majesty :)

I love dancing.

I missed it so very much.

It's wonderful to be back to taking ballet classes every day :) :) :)

Also, I got to wear pointe shoes today for the first time in 3 months.

I love pointe shoes.

Okay, I'll stop now.
