Feeling Stripe-ish

So it's happened. I've lost most of my ability to sleep. Restlessness has taken over. Maybe I'm preparing myself for the time shift? Yeah, I don't think so either. I'm completely tired, running on carbs and tap water with very little to keep me interested in staying awake, yet here I am. Oh well.

The excitement is growing, however! I experienced a spike in my mood from the simple shoes and pads of paper I picked up today. There's something about said products that really makes me happy. I can't say the same thing about the anti-diarrhea meds I had to buy.. gives me the heeby-jeebies.

I've been reading a lot of wonderful books lately. There's one, especially, that has pounded me against the wall with relevance. I knew it bore influence when I reached for it on a high, library shelf, opened it to inspect the potential damage to my time, and it fell directly open to page 147, Chapter 7: Mahatma Gandhi, Echoes in a Strange Land. I think I looked around to see if I was being watched.
This book also introduced me to other beautiful minds.. most notably, G.K Chesterton and Henri Nouwen. Catholic orthodoxy, ready or not..

I'm going to be making a library list of the books on my shelves. Someone has to read them, and that someone can be you! I'll try to get that up shortly. If you see anything interesting, you can come get it yourself!

Much love.

  1. I love it when books seem to find US. I think we sometimes fool ourselves into conceit to think it happens any other way.
