"and she only reveals what she wants you to see"
I've spent an enjoyable hour or so going back through all these posts here, gathering up what I consider the best or most memorable of them for easier reference. This list is roughly chronological, starting right after I began A Place Where Dreams Can Breathe in August 2005.
September 23, 2005: no subject [autumn description]
December 10, 2005: a note [the comment strand on religion was provoking]
January 20, 2006: no subject [quote on the sacred]
February 6, 2006: no subject [Kate Chopin quote that I find describes parts of life perfectly]
March 16, 2006: daffodil
March 30, 2006: grandmother
May 6, 2006: light will someday split you open [Hafiz poems]
May 29, 2006: remembered reflections [on a summer trip; I rather regret having made that wish in the sixth paragrap...be careful what you wish for, indeed]
June 30, 2006: no subject [sylvia plath]
July 14, 2006: no subject [a fabulous exchange of poetry and ideas and poets]
October 25, 2006: mnemosyne [fascination with language; this could be so much better]
November 11, 2006: lilies of death-pale hope, roses of passionate dream--yeats
January 17, 2007: suddenly I see [ideal society rules]
January 20, 2007: the strange little girl [short fiction and my favorite piece]
January 24, 2007: learning
March 22, 2007: this is a movie of a screenplay of a book about a girl [day in Asheville]
May 2, 2007: ahem [except from an im conversation that I just had to mem for hilarity's sake]
July 9, 2007: listening to rap metal, turntables in her eyes [polymaths and autodidacts]
rsholmes--writing journal
June 2005: dianic wicca [essay; brief overview of the faith]
There's also those posts where I asked for and exchanged beautiful quotes, many more quote posts, and a few excellent memes, that I might add on to this list later.
I also found a post where I had been chattering away quite happily about new books, only to type: "but the gravy on the stove sounds like it just exploded."
Last night I quit karate and told my sensei exactly why. Its only been in the past hour or so that I realized just how often mentions of the art occur here. Week after next, then, I'll start visiting other martial arts schools in the area, though I doubt any other will offer the same intense level of fighting.
