Lemonade and A Robin's Egg...

are some things I enjoyed today.

I made lemonade this morning, and I sat in the grass this afternoon and drank it for a while.

While in the grass, I found a birds nest, and in it, a tiny egg.

This find was bittersweet.

What sad bird lost a baby this morning?

What a delight to find such a delicate treasure!

Sadness and delight.

Kind of like life.

I love this photo of me and Shannon (my roommate!!!) at graduation.

She is lovely and unique and a great photographer.


(End of random photo insertion).

what should I render to the Lord

for His benefits to me?

I will lift up the cup of salvation

and call upon the name of the Lord,

I will pay my vows to the Lord

in the presence of his people.

Psalm 116:12-14

For the lemonade and the robin's egg, sadness and delight.

Be still my soul, the Lord is on thy side.

Patience

by Rainer Maria Rilke

I want to beg you, as much as I can,

to be patient toward all that is unsolved

in your heart and try to love the questions

themselves like locked rooms and like books

that are written in a very foreign tongue.

Do not seek the answers, wich cannot

be given to you because you would not be able

to live with them.

And the point is to live everything.
Live the questions now.
Perhaps you will then gradually,
without noticing it, live along
some distant day into the answer.

I love my life!

While this may be the worst photo ever, I feel compelled to post it because the people in it are so lovely. And the day was so grand.

My group of friends spent Friday at Disneyland, and I have to say, it may have been one of the best days of MY WHOLE LIFE.

It was just that good.
