"As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame; / [ . . . ] Each mortal thing does one thing and the same: / Deals out that being indoors each one dwells; / Selves -- goes itself; 'myself' it speaks and spells, / Crying 'What I do is me; for that I came'." --Gerard Manley Hopkins

Travel Time

Commencement commences in half an hour, after which I go home, change clothes, and get back into the car heading for Texas to visit my mother-in-law and my folks. It has been a long year, a difficult one in important ways, but a rewarding one in others. I look forward to some time for renewal, family, getting things done that are most important to me. The books are piled up waiting, Daniel and I are going to do basic Latin, and I can sleep as late as I like every morning.

I will be absent internet access, I think, for the next couple of weeks, so won't be posting here until after that.
