Procrastinating while packing

I'm going away for the month and then some. I'll be back in time for: C&T's wedding, Lydia's return to Claremont, and Maria's baby shower. Life is full to the brim.

Hopefully I will be writing on my trip, since I'll be spending time with a couple writers (authors and aspiring). I've discovered that writing is a way of loving myself - to allow myself to express freely and creatively; to accept and to be amazed at my life and experiences.

Reading has been doing wonders for my soul too. I'm almost done with Life of the Beloved and will finish it up on my flight.

Other titles I am bringing along:


The Inner Voice of Love - another Nouwen book

One Hundred Years of Solitude - it's about time I finish this fatty novel

Savage Inequalities - by Kozol, a big deal in the ed. field

Eat, Pray, Love - yes, I've read it and it's overrated. and yes, I want to read it again anyway.


Now, a song for the road:

Rosie Thomas - Wedding Day
