Ahem. Before I rant, I'd like to wish Major Winters a Happy 91st Birthday, and many more.
He's my hero, you know. The human one, anyway.
Today was great! I loved it. My notebook is four pages fuller, the bag of chips on the printer is half-empty, and the Edge is captainless no longer.
AND--I am 70% British.
You Are 70% British |
![]() (If not, definitely Australian. Or Kiwi. Or Canadian.) You enjoy most aspects of mainstream British culture, without being stereotypical about it. You also have a typical British temperament. You wouldn't dream of being impolite. |
So I'd say that today's been pretty productive. I've organized some of my work for the past school semester and ate some steak.
So I'm feeling dandy...sort of like candy.
i am a little church(no great cathedral)
far from the splendor and squalor of hurrying cities
-i do not worry if briefer days grow briefest,
i am not sorry when sun and rain make april
my life is the life of the reaper and the sower;
my prayers are prayers of earth's own clumsily striving
(finding and losing and laughing and crying)children
whose any sadness or joy is my grief or my gladness
around me surges a miracle of unceasing
birth and glory and death and resurrection:
over my sleeping self float flaming symbols
of hope,and i wake to a perfect patience of mountains
i am a little church(far from the frantic
world with its rapture and anguish)at peace with nature
-i do not worry if longer nights grow longest;
i am not sorry when silence becomes singing
winter by spring,i lift my diminutive spire to
merciful Him Whose only now is forever:
standing erect in the deathless truth of His presence
(welcoming humbly His light and proudly His darkness)
--e e cummings
