Before I lay me down to sleep

And before I take up my essay again in tomorrow (today's) post, a moment of contemplation.

1) Shadowlands is a beautiful movie. It is poignant, sad, charming - and an examination of true love. "The pain you feel now is a part of the happiness you felt then - that's the deal." To be alive is to feel. To be alive is to know that this life is NOT all, and that people will be called to that other life before you. So to sorrow is a form of love. Just as Christ's suffering stemmed wholly from Love.

2) Staying up late with one's sister and mother is wonderful. As are cheese-its. As is Julie's sewing, and Mom rewriting Bearskin to "My Little Buttercup."

3) Having never kissed off-stage or outside of an unfortunate incident in Paris, I've no idea if the following is true. However, since it includes a pretty picture, I will post it:


You have an entrancing kiss~ the kind that leaves
your partner bedazzled and maybe even feeling
he/she is dreaming. Quite effective; the kiss
that never lessens and always blows your
partner away like the first time.


What kind of kiss are you?

In fact - despite that half the beauty is because of the paleness of the lighting and their skin, and the frail pink transluscence of their half-shell eyelids - the main beauty comes from the fact that it looks so very much like the breathtaking statue of Cupid and Psyche.



Although these aren't poor either!



4) And now to sleep, perchance to dream!
