A memory as I rearrange the books...

<<29>>

When, in disgrace with Fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising,
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love rememb'red such wealth brings,
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

William Shakespear

I hope she doesn't mind that I quoted her...

This post may become somewhat rambling and possibly incoherant, but I will do my best to remain on topic.


yummyteece: "community and communication have the same root word... they should not be mutually exclusive. "

I like that quote...and I know that might sound strange comming from me, being as closemouthed as I have been lately, but being quiet all this time has helped me understand a little the role that community has played in my life and more importantly, the effect its abscence has on my well-being. I have been depressed lately, nothing major, just a prevading sense of melancholy that I can't entirely shake off. Part of that I am attributing to the fact that I haven't been out interacting with people on a personal level. Hopefully, that will be changing in the next month or so as I get a job and bookormirrors is finally getting some free time of her own. I think the community that I have missed the most is the pagan community, no matter what form it took. Yeah, I could go to the mall and people-watch, but there isn't that interaction that I've been missing. We will see how this turns out. thanks for listening, I apperciate it.
