Hello!

Am so sorry I havent updated for so long! Hahah gave you a lot of time to think over the "food for thought" yea. Hahaha anyway! Today I held a chinchilla for the first time in my life :D At Dionne's house..thanks girl! Lol 2nd bungalow I visited in this month..and we've got to meet up again cause today was really unproductive lol.

Okay I saw this somewhere and its meaningful so here goes.. :)

"i was asked once to give my 3 favorite animals in order of preference and give descriptions as well..

i replied:

eagle: solitary, superior, precise

jaguar: cool, silence, dangerous

rabbit: hollow, lazy, funny looking



the first one is what you think of yourself

the second is what others think of you

the last one is what you really are



..............you don't have to tell me if it is true


others may misunderstand you; you may even misunderstand yourself.

we are deeply affected by lots of experiences in life and have to explain who you are.

it's about remembering yourself and being ok.

yes. ok. that should be good enough"

It feels like Saturday today! I miss my scotchtape cause i need it to paste my articles but I'll get it back during camp (hopefully the girl who took it will remember to bring it!) :D Oh yea will be having CCA camp this Thurs and Fri..have no idea what we'll be doing except that we'll be going out on the 2nd day o.o Ah God I hope it will be fun :) And thank You so much for always being with me..thank You, my super awesomest God! :D

Okay God bless, take care & byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! <3 :D

Food for thought :)

I've learned, too, that i don't really know very much about anything.

I mean, I used to have all these theories about life.
I thought i had everybody figured out, even God, but I don't.
I think about the woods, being away from all the clingy soot of commercialism, have taught me life is enormous, and i am very tiny in the middle of it.
I feel, at times, like a droplet of water in a raging river.
I know for a fact that as a grain of sand compares in size to the earth itself, i compare in size to the cosmos.
I am that insignificant.
And yet the chemicals in my brain that make me feel beauty when i look up at the stars, when i watch the sunset, indicate i must be here for a reason.
I think i would sum it up this way: life is not a story about me, but it is being told to me, and i can be glad of that.
I think that is the why of life and, in fact, they why of this ancient faith i am caught up in: to enjoy God.
The stars were created to dazzle us, like a love letter; light itself is just a metaphor, something that exists outside of time, made up of what seems like nothing, infinite in its power, something that can be experienced but not understood, like God.
Relationships between men and women indicate something of the nature of God - that He is relational, that He feels love and loss. It's all a metaphor, and the story is about us; it's about all of us who God made, and God Himself, just enjoying each other.

It strikes me how far the commercials are from this reality, how deadly they are, perhaps.
Months ago i would have told you life was about doing, about jumping through religious hoops,
about impressing other people, and my actions would have told you this is done by buying possessions or keeping a good image or going to church. I don't believe that anymore

I think we're supposed to stand in deserts and marvel at how the sun rises.
I think we're supposed to sleep in meadows and watch stars dart across space and time.
I think we're supposed to love our friends and introduce people to the story, to the peaceful, calming why of life. I think life is spirituality.

P.S.: Something cool! http://www.com-www.com/weirdal/bob.html Every line of this song is a palindrome! Which means it spells the same backwards or forth! :)
