“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.” -Rumi

“When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you’re not here, I can’t go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnias! And the difference between them.” -Rumi

You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

Stuff Portrait Friday

25 May, 2006 /

1. Your suitcase/s or travel bag.

You’ve asked to see the Tim Allen ‘Camera’ bag. This is it. We also have the backpack we put our stuff in, but this is mine…cause Shaun won’t carry it.

2. Your ground.

This is MY ground. Yeah, it has crab grass and dry spots, but it’s MINE.
3. Something you are powerless to.

I’m powerless to school projects! FIVE kids with an average of 3 projects a school year.
I’m also powerless to the cute note he wrote me this morning about the stuff he would need to finish the project.
I’m also powerless to sitting on the couch and helping him cut stuff out and give him ideas.
DID YOU PLAY??
