I should be documenting so much more of this semester; every single day has been picture perfect. But it's hard to capture the significance of so much of this fall in a few words on a blog or in a journal, and even if pictures are worth a thousand words they still wouldn't be enough. How can I explain Milkshake Mondays, camping, brunch-making, baseball in the backyard? How can I do justice to my brothers and my sisters, the best friends in the entire world?
How can I explain nights like tonight, where for two hours I laid on a blanket in the Brick House backyard with three of my best friends (and the neighbor's cat, our new friend) and stared at the stars? It is so powerful to be reminded of how small we are and how big our Creator is. Seriously, I can't imagine a better way to top off an already amazing weekend.
If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore; and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God which had been shown! But every night come out these envoys of beauty, and light the universe with their admonishing smile... [Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature]
