What to say?
Things are read from books but learned from hands.
The greatest promise:
As they days, so shall they strength be.
Deut 33:25
The past few days, I couldn't stop singing:
"I've got a home in glory-land that outshines the sun (oh, Lordy)
I've got a home in glory-land that outshines the sun
I've got a home in glory-land that outshines the sun
Look away beyond the blue!
Do Lord, oh do Lord, oh do remember me (oh, Lordy)
Do Lord, oh do Lord, oh do remember me
Do Lord, oh do Lord, oh do remember me
Look away beyond the blue!"
And... I have nothing else to say.
God bless you!

Brother
This almost doesn't make sense... why do I love you so much? (What will we do when I go? As you grow?)
This posture, minute gesticulations, these everyday expressions: they don't ever seem like much... But we understand more than we know, our hearts remember what gave it spring in the cold: caught in our fall.
You are my belly laugh, my deepest pain
May you love Christ!
Love, E.
P.s. "ohisee!"
P.p.s. But really I cannot believe I will not share the secrets of everyday with this little (big) ugly (beautiful) thing come 5 months, 5 years... He better name his children after me... He better call me everyday when I'm gone. Either or.

Studying...
Day 1, Friday
Math - Ultra-productive and equally boring
Day 2, Saturday
Math - Partially productive
History - Less than sufficient, internet proved fatal, then interrupted by Simon and Edmund :(
Day 3, Sunday (Today)
History - I am far behind but it is because the more I study, the more interesting it is! (Strange, I hated studying yesterday.) Who knew that memorizing the different figures of the Scientific Revolution could prove so tantalizing: my heart is in rapture of history. History is beautiful - it is a song, only made boring by tone-deaf teachers and uninterested pupils... I wish to know everything! Ahh, if only I paid more attention, took time outside of class... school is for learning. Goodness, and we can only learn if we make a choice to. Instead of only going because we are obligated. Stupid system. Stupid students (myself included). It's about attitude, posture... I wish I would learn/remember. Anyway, back to history. HURRAY!
