i hope my words are strange and wondrous,

like kisses that quiet all things superfluous,

so that we can all stop and

listen

this cafe has quickly become one of my favorites on campus,

dimly lit, comfortable but not to napping point,

with yummy pastries

and right in the middle of campus.

oh Sammy's marry me already =P

seriously i love my thursdays,

with only two hours of class and worship small group,

i learn a ton and yet have plenty of time to digest, let things seep into my system without over compensating on time alone at the cafe, or at home.

if only life in general were this awesome all the time.

discovering some new philosophers lately that are bookmarked for exploring,

overall i'd conclude that my university experience thus far has been mostly amazing,

even amidst pretentious TAs and monotone professors, hell months and poorly written essays...

i've expanded my knowledge from hs in exponential leaps..and i've only had almost 12 months of university life.

the pursuit of knowledge is a great passion of mine, and the occasional discouragement from my lack of understanding or limited time is always shot down by the richness of discourse that exists in this world,

whether it be greek mythology, indigenous spirituality, western philosophy, chinese literature..

from history and geography to the way in which history and geography are written,

from no God to praises of God

to be so privileged as to be able to encounter everything i've just listed on an weekly basis

and be given the tools with which to personally grapple with each issue

is a blessing that i cannot put into words.

and to be honest,

knowledge is the other half of my love-affair.

and everyday gives me something new to think about,

life is amazing in its boundless-ness.

because life is God-given, thus it can be so.

so protect me yet Almighty,

you are awesome in so many ways

since you have seen into the depths of my heart

and you've answered the prayers that i desperately cried out

not what i wanted, but what i needed

and i've come out for the better ever since

and im still in the process of becoming...

don't let me off on my own ever.

and thankyou,

is what i say every morning i can still wake up and do the mundane.

because in all reality

shit could be much worse.
