After a whirlwind tour through Texas to see both sides of the family and a quick stop at headquarters (Gwen’s house in KY) to see Joel, eat great food and catch our breaths, we embark on our literary tour tomorrow.

The road goes ever on…

Bon Voyage, sweet one! I look forward to a plethora of poetic souvenirs when you return. Until then, I shall content myself with reading Gentian Hill and dreaming of a trip across the pond myself someday. : )

She has plenty of courage, a strong faith and a native expectancy of good. Living with her is a high adventure.

There's a wideness in God's mercy,

I cannot find in my own

And he keeps his fire burning

To melt this heart of stone,

Keeps me aching, with a yearning,

Keeps me glad to have been caught,

In the reckless, raging fury,

That they call the love of God.
C.S. Lewis

You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.

I heard an old voice say,
Don't go far from the land,
The seasons have their way,
No mortal can understand...
Elizabeth Goudge

Faithful... supposed that the harder one's life is the more desperate must be the struggle to find out how to be happy, and the more likely to be successful.
