“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

We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. — “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” April 16, 1963

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

First Day of School….

17 August, 2009 /

The first day of school again.

I was going to put up the pictures from the past so you could all see how much they have grown, but as I was pulling up the pictures, my heart started to break and I decided to just skip the linking of the old posts and pictures.

Kara is a junior in high school. Alyx starts 7th grade. Shea is finishing up her last year in Elementary as a 6th grader.

For those of you that remember, Random and I started with Kara in 5th grade.

Scary and heartbreaking.
