eee, I had a meeting today for my GERMANY trip!! I got to meet the other students in the program-there'll be ten of us total, including the professor, and with a ratio of 9 girls to 1 boy. Everyone was super-excited and giddy, and there was laughter, and it is going to be a fabulous group! :D I am going to buy ticketses next week, and we have to ponder what projects we want to work on while we're there. Castle full o' books!!! :D
And here is a lovely little poem about life in ordinary. ♥
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It is a kind of love, is it not?
How the cup holds the tea,
How the chair stands sturdy and foursquare,
How the floor receives the bottoms of shoes
Or toes. How soles of feet know
Where they're supposed to be.
I've been thinking about the patience
Of ordinary things, how clothes
Wait respectfully in closets
And soap dries quietly in the dish,
And towels drink the wet
From the skin of the back.
And the lovely repetition of stairs.
And what is more generous than a window?
~ "The Patience of Ordinary Things" by Pat Schneider
