Reappearance

Hi, it's me. I actually own this blog, but this past month has been Midterms, so...

Come to think of it, since blogging is mostly a thing that college-aged people do (plus teens and political pundits), I wonder if blogrings across the world go dead for a few weeks in October?

A question for the ages to ponder, no doubt---did I mention that my state is one of midterms-induced loopiness?

However, I've also been learning about these...



....which are really, really pretty. We call them "fractals" and they constitute the gorgeous side of math. Yessir, what you are looking at is generated entirely by abstract symbols plugged into a simple computer program. Geeks are artists too! Actually, it's just one more proof that God can create more beauty than you can shake a stick at, using only an "i" symbol and a number under 2.

It looks like a shell, doesn't it? I love fractals. :-) And I want Danya to write more fractal poetry!


It's almost midnight. Time for all good students to turn into pumpkins so that they can flounder out of bed and face the world tomorrow.

Or rather, today.

O Sunny Day


The last few days have been like that: blue above, green below, gold between. Friday, a brisk day, a turning-in-papers and crisp starched cuffs day. Friday afternoon I was struck with as pink and spangled a mood as I have ever known my self to possess. Schoolwork Saturday, sunny likewise, I spent largely in the gazebo reading a favorite Shakespeare play--Twelfth Night--for homework. I love being a Lit major. :-)

The sermon this morning was on God as light (1 John 1:5-7). Anybody who knows me well, knows how I feel about that particular metaphor. I was pierced. Brittainy and I both got prayer afterwards, I for my self-centered desire to control my own life, and my heart, so prone to wander. Schoolwork has been tough this week; shouldn't that fact have driven me closer to my quiet times? We experienced repentence, reconciliation, and, in a word: light.

This afternoon Brittainy and I spent in our secret place, the graveyard, memorizing a passage from Pride and Prejudice to perform together for Brittainy's Novel presentation. We were going to go see the new movie takeoff of Oliver Twist, but Brittainy had too much work to do (she was gone all Saturday on a soccer game).

Now it is Sunday evening, and I just discovered a new album on Rhapsody: Christian artist takeoffs on the Narnia theme. Bliss.

Greengold Spirit, bluegold God, redgold Savior...

My trinity ring reminds me, I'm living in a rainbow.
