100th Post

I just realized that this next post should be a benchmark.   One hundred posts, and just one month short of a year.

I decided to bounce back and pick up some bits and pieces as review . . .

"Alea Iacta Est!"

June 2009 13th

" Have you ever heard a fog horn?  It's wonderful deep tones booming forth, guiding ships home through the darkness?  Every half minute it rolls forth in mellow declaration of safety, the tones vibrating softly in the air. Nearby, the waves roll steadily inland their thunder of movement filling the ear with a comfortable backdrop to the lilting music of the birds. Where the water comes in contact with stolid rock, it roars upwards with boom and a flash of white that surprises the senses. The silence brought by the concussion of tide is filled with the hiss of water returning to it's course.

It's honest, the sea. It makes you face things honestly. . . It speaks to you of things that you wish could be, and it speaks of who you are, pointing out your flaws, but through all things is fair. Not letting us stumble under the weight of it's words. One can ignore it's words as merely the natural sounds of a vigorous habitat, but one always hears whether one wishes it or not. Those of deep inclinations become enthralled by it, becoming devoted to it. They love it as few masters are loved, and they fear it's power. For she is a cruel mistress.  "

"Found some really cool Latin this morning : caligo (1) -inis f. [fog , mist, darkness]. Transf., [mental darkness, dullness; calamity, affliction, gloom]


That just makes my brain whirl!!"

"~ Throwing rocks at Robert as he climbed down a cliff. Sorry. Dirt. Not rocks.
~ Climbing down the same said cliff barefoot. Because Robert made it down with only water shoes, and I totally had to top him. Then having Rachel do it as well, and then racing back up hill. Everyone barefoot."

"Now I'm crying, because I want to walk. I want to talk. My heart yearns within me. I open my mouth in a groan, trying to tell them . . . I want to walk. Now I'm wailing, I want to be smart! Please let me be smart! Please let me be who I used to be! Tears roll down my cheeks in a flood of coolness.


Why can't I?
Why can't I?
WHY CAN'T I, PLEASE!!?"

"No guilt in life, no fear in death -

This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final death,
Jesus commands my destiny."

"Stars sparkle gently in the cold dark winter of space, their gentle forms sometimes faint to the point of non-existence, sometimes bright as a shout of laughter, flowing round the ghost outline of a ship."

"just cause everything may royally suck right now, doesn't mean things don't get better. Cause there is always something beautiful. There are mountains to reach the top of, coasts to walk along, friends to laugh with, cars to drive, music to listen to.


It gets better. I promise."
