| "Well, to be sure, you can read 'em off," said Dolly. "Ben's read 'em
to me many and many a time, but they slip out o' my mind again; the
more's the pity, for they're good letters, else they wouldn't be in the
church; and so I prick 'em on all the loaves and all the cakes, though
sometimes they won't hold, because o' the rising--for, as I said, if
there's any good to be got we've need of it i' this world--that we
have; and I hope they'll bring good to you, Master Marner, for it's wi'
that will I brought you the cakes; and you see the letters have held
better nor common."
-----
"Ah, if there's good anywhere, we've need of it," repeated Dolly, who did not lightly forsake a serviceable phrase.
----
"Well, yes, Master Marner," said Dolly, who sat with a
placid listening face, now bordered by grey hairs; "I doubt it may.
It's the will o' Them above as a many things should be dark to us; but
there's some things as I've never felt i' the dark about, and they're
mostly what comes i' the day's work. You were hard done by that once,
Master Marner, and it seems as you'll never know the rights of it; but
that doesn't hinder there being a rights, Master Marner, for all it's
dark to you and me."
"No," said Silas, "no; that doesn't hinder. Since the
time the child was sent to me and I've come to love her as myself, I've
had light enough to trusten by; and now she says she'll never leave me,
I think I shall trusten till I die."

| I've had a lot of headaches since I got back to school. I'm not sure if
it's stress or what. I'll be working at the Opportunities Fair tomorrow
afternoon. Come by and see me!!!  It's pretty great living
with my awesome quad peoples and having Jess and Vee across the hall!
ok, headache is too bad to continue. More later.

| Micah and I went to the mall today, to celebrate his birthday by
sitting on mall benches and writing haiku. Hopefully he will also want
to share his with you. Here are mine.

the GAP
between what and what?
elegance for skinny legs
not a woman there.
sisters, same short skirts
pudgy legs, affected style
no, not flattering
she’s only five (outside Abercrombie & Fitch)
mommy, I can see
your daughter’s panties as she
twists to a porn beat
mall fountain ripples
pennies, nickels, quarters, dimes
very small fortune
Spencers
do they really have
pretty, dirty things inside?
i see lava lamps…
Epigram for the Body Shop
how will I butter
my body without your store?
no more pink loofahs.
so many sparkles
a store on every corner
diamond opulence
hustle bustle food
gulp down sodas and French fries
smothered in ketchup

other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through
their pockets for loose grammar. | | |
| I go back to school in 8 days, I guess. Next Saturday. When the dorms
open. I'm looking forward to it a lot, but I'm also realizing how much
I'm going to miss the peace and irresponsiblity of these last few
weeks. While I was working, there was more stress, etc, but now it's
quite nice...I could do it forever. Or at least for a while longer.
I just finished a great bio of St. Francis. I'd realized that he was
score, but I didn't know HOW score! It's like he was a breath of fresh
air all around in the Middle Ages. The author also does a really good
job of making Francis alive, without neglecting the facts. I'd
definitely recommend it.
