There is more

We do not merely want to see beauty, though, God knows, even that is bounty enough. We want something else which can hardly be put into words--to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it.

C.S. Lewis

A thing resounds when it rings true
Ringing all the bells inside of you
Like a golden sky on a summer eve
Your heart is tugging at your sleeve
And you cannot say why
There must be more

There is more
More than we can stand
Standing in the glory
Of a love that never ends
There is more
More than we can guess
More and more, forever more
And not a second less

Andrew Peterson

Thank God there's more!

Good reads

Since I read a lot, I thought it would be cool to keep a record of what I'm reading. I just finished Kitchen Confidential from Anthony Bourdain. How can something so foul be so tender and so sweet?

Is that too much from one little memoir? I just started a magical book. I'm wondering how I ran across it...must of heard about it on NPR. It's Acquainted with the Night by Christopher Dewdney. It's a Bloomsbury USA title. I just love their books. http://www.bloomsburyusa.com/catalogue/details2.asp?isbn=9781582345994&cf=0&search=night&isbns=&page=1 Night is something so basic. But yet it's magical. I love books that take a long look into something familiar. It's almost poetic when you look into the smaller parts of life. I can't wait to finish this book. I'm going to go rea...

Balance

Yesterday, I began this message, and all I typed was a "p".  I am wondering what I was thinking. Since I'm not sure, I will start over again.  It saddens me that I've only written a handful of posts this year. What have I been doing? Working and writing of course. I've said I was busy before, but I had no idea what that meant. I haven't been this busy since college. But those silly credit cards are almost paid off. Really...I've paid off 80 percent of the balance. That's a lot of money. And a lot of work behind it.  Anyway... balance is the key word. My wonderful friends that are part of the GSPN.tv community are working on living a more balanced life. You can visit  pursuingabalancedlife.com  to find out who's involved and read more about it. Thanks to Cliff's leadership, we've started talking about our goals and making real changes in our lives. Really, we're learning how to be happy with what we have. Being healthy, moderate, wise, a...
