(a picture of Emma going out to play this summer...)

the clouds are rolling in, bringing a long-needed storm to us. the wind is blowing, and the work day is over. now on to other things!

i was cleaning out my emails and came across this quote i had copy/pasted a while ago into a draft email. it stopped me in my tracks.

There are no ordinary people. You have never met a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations, these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit -- immortal horrors or ever lasting splendours. (c.s. lewis)
