Teach me half the gladness

That thy brain must know,

Such harmonious madness

From my lips would flow,

The world should listen then- as I am listening now.

-from " To a Skylark" by Shelly

a part of a poem from the Romantic Era of British literature..

not bad, huh?

                                            If it can be verified, we don't need faith....                                               

                                           Faith is for that which lies on the other side of reason.

                                           Faith is what makes life bearable,

                                           with all its tragedies and ambiguities and sudden, startling joys.

                                                                                                       Madeleine L'Engle

                 .....so what is the single most important thing faith can do, if not the fact that it encourages you through this life on earth filled with uncertainty, letting us look beyond this turmoil of unpredictability.....

              Nao's family and us, our hosts from Japan 

                                           (Nao's mom, Nao's sister, me, Kiernan )

    yeah.. good were the days in Japan/Korea...  my heart's still in the summer but my body's going forward with time, making me feel like i'm being pulled forward while my feet's staying stationary...and it's not a very pretty picture.. if you can somehow imagine it.

    well other than school, i've been doing some major looking-back for some uncalled reasons, and i was suprised to how many things i was so oblivious to.. and how i was so blind at some points the time and missed so many infinite moments of possibility... and all these realization leaves me feeling kinda....... numb.  i don't really know why i've been thinking/feeling this way, but i guess it's some sort of time-out for my crazy crazy days packed with ridiculous amount of hw, 5:15 prayers in the morning, field hockey, 4.2 GPAs, due papers, SGAs, all the church committments, writing and rewriting debate cases and neg shells, meetings for 5-6 hours a week all while trying to keep up with my family, friends and my "sig. other"    

(and NO JOHNNY, i'm not falling apart, i can handle it  but yeah, thanks anyways...)

 i just need a short break to recollect all my thoughts, my goals, my priorities and refresh myself.....
