Spiritual Laws

When the act of reflection takes place in the mind, when we look at ourselves in the light of thought, we discover that our life is embosomed in beauty. Behind us, as we go, all things assume pleasing forms, as clouds do far off. Not only things familiar and stale, but even the tragic and terrible, are comely, as they take their place in the pictures of memory. The river-bank, the weed at the water-side, the old house, the foolish person, -- however neglected in the passing, -- have a grace in the past. Even the corpse that has lain in the chambers has added a solemn ornament to the house. The soul will not know either deformity or pain. If, in the hours of clear reason, we should speak the severest truth, we should say, that we had never made a sacrifice. In these hours the mind seems so great, that nothing can be taken from us that seems much. All loss, all pain, is particular; the universe remains to the heart unhurt. Neither vexations nor calamities abate our trust. No man ever stated his griefs as lightly as he might. Allow for exaggeration in the most patient and sorely ridden hack that ever was driven. For it is only the finite that has wrought and suffered; the infinite lies stretched in smiling repose. -RWE

Oil spill

I really hope they fix the leak soon. It's been WAY too long. When the news started showing animals covered in oil, I couldn't bare to watch it. Every second of the day tons of oil is flowing out all over the Gulf. It's sad and ridiculous that we are able to find oil thousands of feet underwater but can't fix a leak. I know it's not that easy but there is no time to point the blame cause it's not changing anything and second by second things are getting worse.

World Cup!

I don't understand why most Americans seem to have a disdain for soccer. Oh well, that doesn't make me love it any less! The first few days of play have been pretty fun to watch. I'm so glad England didn't beat us. Now we just need to win the next 2 games so we can advance! I wish I could live stream games at work.

Progress

She just has the two cats and fishbowl left to get colored in.
