The moment you think your world is falling apart may just be the moment your world is coming together.

  • MY LORD GOD, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone. - Thomas Merton, "Thoughts in Solitude"

autumn

Posted by carolanna on September 22, 2008

love it.  I mean, I really love it.  in a way that completely justifies the use of the overused word love.  it is my favorite time of year (although now it includes my least favorite day of the year).  in fact, I think someone should build a house that functions like a convertible – you know with a retractable top.  (i know it’s not very logical but since logical is no fun, i’m going to use that imagination thing.)  how cool would it be to just decide to sleep under the stars one night and push a button and VOILA! open roof.  i think office buildings should be the same way.  i would be much more productive with a little less fluorescent lighting and a lot more natural light (say to the tune of toby keith’s “little less talk and a lot more action”).  

question of the day: what job lets me work in a building with a retractable roof on it?

    A super hero. Then you could open the roof and fly out.

    I love autum too. It stinks that people make you stay inside all day. Boo.

    I love the fall–nothing beats the smell of the season changing. It makes me want to walk and hum along.
    I also love your new web design.

    You could work for the Swiss Family Robinson’s! They have a retractable roof in their bedroom.
