cycles

we've been busy schooling around here. everyone's pretty happy about it, but we're also pretty tired... we've been talking a lot about opposites, about cycles...day and night, summer and winter...happy and sad, stuff like that. and i would say more, but my head hurts, so run wild with it.

but there are two things that have been bumping in my head lately that i thought i'd stop in here to deposit for a bit. i've been thinking about that sunday school song about the two men...one built his house on the sand and the rains came a'tumbling down. and then the house on the sand went splat. and then the other man built his house upon the rock, rinse lather repeat, but his house stayed up. i just have a loved one who's working in some serious sand and i'd like to find a way to point that out kindly....

the other thing... i was listening to the radio and heard U2...oh man, i've got to go get another one of those. anyway...it was mysterious ways and these lines were just screaming to me, heavy with meaning...relevance, really...i'll leave with them...

to touch is to heal
to hurt is to steal
if you wanna kiss the sky, better learn how to kneel
on your knees boy

peace
