Kahlil Gibran...and Joanne.
"Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry,
the philosophy which does not laugh,
and the greatness which does not bow before children."
mmmm, yes.
i have been feeling so peaceful today. yesterday too. i had some pretty dark moments there- but now this peace has settled in my deepest place. i am so grateful.
one more quote, from my friend at the coffee shop, a wise wise woman, a holy-mad woman.
"All is gift, because All is Well."
yum.

totally not related to your post, but i thought you would appreciate this. it's been a long time since i used my spanish with any regularity, but i'm trying more now that i have the chance. i was attempting to order ice cream from one of the cart guys at the park. usually I can do it without think about the words i am using, but..
i wanted to ask for a chocolate and banana ice cream bar, but my brain was thinking banana was manzana, which it's not anyway, and out of mouth came... mantequilla.
i asked the guy for "helado con chocolate y mantequilla." he just looked at me for a minute and i said, "banana, I meant banana!" in completely frantic english. at least i got it right when he told me in spanish how much I owed him and i gave him the right amount.
joshua had NO IDEA what had just happened, since he doesn't speak a lick of spanish, until I explained. he laughed at me.
mmmm... mantequilla ice cream.... who knows? it might be good. then again...
nice! i am familiar with these kinds of moments...embarrassing and hilarious. i always feel so sheepish.
