... what it feels like to be loved by God, what it means and what it looks like. And how on earth I miss it even while it surrounds me. We've been chatting, He and I. But mostly I'm just learning to listen more and look more. I think about it most of the time, today especially - around and in between all the other stuff that comes up.
"Show me your face; let me hear your voice. Because your voice is sweet and your face is full of love."
Song of Solomon 2:14
My name is Colleen.
I love taking my time and finding beauty and humour in things before they happen - as in seeds and salamanders.
"The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing — to reach the Mountain, to find the place where all the beauty came from — my country, the place where I ought to have been born. Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for home? For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back."
C.S. Lewis - Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold
"Look, it's not in my nature to be mysterious. But I can't talk about it and I can't talk about why."

Good idea, my sweet! That way I get to enjoy it longer, too! :-)
Hiya Colleen! Breaking it up is an excellent idea! Also, it was an easy way to know what to write about for the next fortnight, you cheater :P
Thanks for sharing this. It has helped me much today for reasons I am unwilling to share =)
You know what I was thinking about? Mandarins. I am serious. :)
How've you been?
how Dawns stagette will turn out tommorrow night! In White Rock at the boathouse!
Scrapn - you know I'm thinking of keeping this list of "I ..." for those days I'm want to write but don't know where to begin. They "present" me. (PREsent as opposed to preSENT) So thanks, you! :)
Hiya back, little a. What's up in Aussie - you mandarin lovin' girl you? (I'm thinking about peaches cuz I made this smoothie that I'm taking to work with me and I can't wait to break it open. YUM.) I've been good but overwhelmed - a sort of trait of mine that I long to be rid of. Little A, did you know I hesitated to write this? And for reasons I'm willing to share but it would just take too dang long. I'm glad now that I did. :) Whatever else goes down know you are LOVED. Do a little jig in your room and revel in it. HEE! I giggle just picturing you doing a little boogie.
Bets, oh BETS! Stagette, hey? Is Dawn getting married this Saturday already? Smokey doodles! Are you a bridesmaid? Have fun tomorrow. YAY!
T! - an addendum ... "I'm want to write" - yes how ironic. Grammar errors of my own drive me insane. Hopefully your tag list will also help me with constructing a sentence! Oh, wouldn't that be nice.
any questions?
