I will not die an unlived life I will not live in fear of falling Or of catching fire I choose to inhabit my days To allow my living to open me Making me less afraid More accessible To loosen my heart So that it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise I choose to risk my significance. To live so that that which comes to me as seed Goes to the next as blossom And that which comes to me as blossom Goes on as fruit. --Donna Markova

SNOW!

Okay...my day so far could be summed up in one word--"SNOW." Yep, that's right. When I woke up this morning, I turned off my alarm clock and fell back to sleep so the oh-so-amazing Dustin had to come wake me up (10 minutes after we were supposed to leave for class). Great start. Then, I look out my window. And see snow. Snow on the day when I was going to take my long, introspective walk to Borders to buy CDS. Days not impoving. So I missed having coffee (never a good start to a day w/ class at 7:45 am) and then our TA was 25 minutes late to class. Thankfully, my day improved from that point on. Kind of like SNOW--unpleasant surprise at first, but then appreciated b/c you know it's one of the last snowfalls of the year and you should take advantage of it. W/ that in mind, I think I'm going to alter my Border's plan and walk out to picnic point instead. There's nothing quite like the silence of snowy woods...and picnic point is awesome for its own sake. Anyway...had to get some of that "my-plan-has-been-thwarted" frustration out.
