I have been organizing all my papers, attempting to balance my account (it takes me awhile), organizing my "library", packing to go back to Fairwood, reading Don Quixote, berating myself for not practicing my violin, wasting time on blogs, reading In This House of Brede for the second time (It's scary how much Catholicism appeals to me), beginning a study of Latin, preparing to brush up on my French, thinking about studying Aristotle's Rhetoric, not participating in color week, doing laundry, and thinking that perhaps Lord Peter Wimsey would be just the husband for me.
And I'm happy because I don't feel obligated to finish most of the above "tasks." The illusion of business is enough to make me happy.
"Be still and know that I am God."
Okay.

Love you, Bria!
I love you SO much and miss you and wish I could come over for another talk until 5 AM! (or at least until 2 AM).
And I'm SO HAPPY you're packing for Bible school and can't wait to call you and see how it's all going and how much fun you're having and all that good stuff.
And it's not too surprising how much Catholicism appeals to you... :)
I keep reading the same part in that book over and over again because I put it down and forget about it. And then there is the other part of me that start's thinking about life enclosed behind walls and I get all shakey inside, and can't read any further.
If I had to be a nun, I'd be the door keeper so I could see "the beyond." hmmmm I don't sound very spiritual.
I can relate a lot right now to the illusion of business being enough to make me happy. I'm not accomplishing a lot of important things right now by the world's standards, but I am marching to the beat of different drummer...
Thanks for posting! I kept checking...hoping...missing you...
I'm glad you are happy.
And - that's a good verse to meditate on - especially on Shabbat...
I love you, Bria.
