| love and despair..."How can a person seriously believe that God is love and has given himself up for us on the cross, because he has loved and chosen us from all eternity and has predestined us for an eternity of bliss in his presence -- how can anyone seriously believe this "to be true" and at the same time refuse to love God in return or despair of God's love.
Prayer by Hans Urs von Balthasar
...and yet so often i find myself in this predicament.
May Easter come and deliver us from despair.

| leaving vancouver... it's been a slow and agonizing decision making process, but for matters of finances and relationship, i've decided to move back to NYC.
i'll be finishing up in NYC and looking for places to housesit while i write my thesis. if you know of any places to housesit, do pass on the word!
goodbye vancouver.

| An Apology on why the 28 is "bothersome" ... or the pretense of growth and maturity that don the 28.
i
implore you to examine the number 28. the "2" is promising, with a jump
from Top-Left that convexes Heaven; it swings around, lunges
tangentially down to make a sharp left and dismounts with a 10.0; it's
ready to make the next leap, when then comes the problem... the
intractable "8." how can the "2" move to the "8"? there's no opening
-- no entry in/no exit out. the self-absorbed "8" winds
within its circuitous route, same barnacled questions and baggage, same
seemingly irredeemable self. the terrain threadbare. the should-be
sage with its infinity-esque potential is in truth a stricture
proscribing those who travail within to collapse back to the same-old
same-old.
yes, 8 is hell. quite. a bothersome hell.
my dears AHawk and MColen-- that is why.

| welcome Luke Jr!!!less than a year ago i had seen Mary and Luke walk down the aisle, and now the two becoming one has turned to three! sad that Luke Jr. held out to stay in his mum's womb till i left Kissena. but, worry not Jr, auntie liz will be coming home soon to feed you some coffee and peanuts and read to you into the wee hours of the night! ;) (mkoh, don't think you've found a way out from our midnight meetups. you'll be up anyway, so might as well have the company!)
congrats Mary, Luke and halmuhni!
look at all that HAIR!!!
may the Lord's blessings be on that child.
NB: mary will only have 2 months maternity leave, which is really good compared with others in the States; however, the length of maternity leave is *pathetic* compared to Canada. under the Canadian BC healthcare, women have one year paid maternity leave. AND (!) pre-birthing lessons, basic baby supplies, weekly nurse home-visits, AND and an optional midwife during the pregnancy are all included. sigh, we in the States are sorely behind.
