i get to go have dinner with sarah and her grandma tonight! i love sarah's grandma, she's so funny. i've been thinking a lot about my grandparents lately. sometimes i wonder how different things would be if any of them were still alive, or if things would be different. i never knew my grandfathers, and i really miss my grandmothers. sometimes i wish i could just sit with them and knit and talk.
i have to write an article for a christian newspaper on my trip to ireland and i might write about the caves. the whole time we were there i just thought about stalactites and stalagmites and how they spend thousands of years dripping small particles on eachother, barely changing, but gradually, they grow and get closer and closer and finally they are connected and grow as one. and i thought that was completely how life is. how you exchange things, bits of yourself, with people, and it effects them, changes them, but it doesent mean you are one with them. and then even if you disconnect with them, their residue still leaves something on you, an imprint you can't scratch off. but i couldnt stop seeing myself as some waxy icicle inside a cave.
i wouldnt say i loved my trip to ireland. i wouldnt say it was fun. but i think it was important at this time in my life.
