summer recap #2

as i'm sitting here - freezing - i'm reminiscing summer: spending days hanging out at the rhine, doing nothing but sun bathing and solving cross word puzzles.
and enjoying warm summer nights with friends, wine and bonfires.
i'm so thankful for my life.

and it's swelling up
joy and love and fear
inside of her

and so she exercises patience.

There are books you forget. And there are books that stay with you. Maybe forever.

"I looked over at Augustus Waters, who looked back at me. You could almost see through his eyes they were so blue. "There will come a time," I said, "when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this" -- I gestured encompassingly -- "will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that's what everyone else does."

life lately

taking autumn walks

and marvelling at god's creation

breakfast dates with best housemate and friend

indulging in literature

and listening to this song while drinking coffee in the shower.

life is good.
