"Dip your hands in colours while the young night flutters in on you..." (Over the Rhine)
I'm back. I have been gone far too long... been reinvented too many times... been taught the unfaithfulness of perspective... been convinced of God's bewildering goodness.
More than all my semesters at college, this one sprang out of an impossible place, turned me inside out, hit me over the head several times, and left me a very different person. So many mindsets have been shattered:
~ Complete honesty is taboo.
~ Differences of opinion destroy relationships.
~ I am invicible as long as I'm alive.
~ Christians should be nice.
~ Food cannot be eaten past the sell-by date.
~ I won't survive waving friends forever goodbye.
~ Human approval is necessary for worth.
~ I will die up north in the winter.
~ Significant areas of life take significant amounts of time to change.
~ I will never date an engineer.
~ For that matter, I will never date a LeTourneau student.
~ Same thing.
~ Love is a fairy-tale meant never for me.
Is there some unique air on college campuses that rearranges the brain in ways previous experience never did? I do wonder sometimes...
I also want to hereby apologize for the blog silence; the last week of school was dizzying, and then I spent a few eventful days in Maryland visiting el hombre's familia. More details on that are forthcoming, as soon as we figure out who's writing what (which could take a while, so don't get your hopes up yet). Anyway..... anyway. It's good to be back.
