I wrote the following poem at a recent LSM activity in 5 minutes. Bill King, whom I highly respect, thought it was worth sharing. So, here it is:
We see the sunrise over the ocean,
but not your face.
We hear a newborn’s cry,
but not your voice.
We feel the touch of our loved ones,
but not your calming embrace.
We smell the coming rain,
but not the majesty of your creation.
Help us
to see your face,
to hear your voice,
to feel your touch,
and to know that you surround us.
As of October 2nd, at about 2 o’clock, Elizabeth and I are engaged! We went up to Mountain Lake for the day, and I asked her to marry me under the gazebo. We have pictures on Facebook and on Flickr.
I finally gave in and bought myself a domain name and hosting, and as you can see – now I have a website! I’m excited and have been working on designing and theming my website for a bit. I got wordpress installed and have given some thought to keeping a blog again, so maybe I will (and maybe it’ll just fall by the wayside as has always happened in the past). At any rate, messing around with my website is sure to keep me busy while having fun with my new toy!
