giving

"You often say, 'I would give, but only to the deserving.' The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pasture. They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish. 
-Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

The Prophet is one of my top 5 favorite books. It is up there with The Alchemist, The Broken Wings, maybe Redeeming Love and I don't know what the 5th would be off the top of my head... should give that some thinking. 

Michigan

Ryan and I spent a week in Michigan. We got back on Thursday. On Friday, we left for his grandparents' house for his brother's wedding shower. We got home Sunday evening and I started work & class at 9:00 this morning. I am so tired, so I don't know why I'm awake at midnight. That's all. Nothing relevant to say. Just some pictures from Michigan.
