Shadowlands Quotes

We were watching the end of Shadowlands tonight and C.S. Lewis, made three interesting comments.

Experience is a brutal teacher. But we learn.

How true is that!

We read to know we are not alone. Do you believe that???

Yes, I believe that. I know sometimes when I am lonely or want to be alone, but doing something. I will read. Let my imagine carry me somewhere (good mind you, not somewhere I shouldn't be). I like to end up in Vienna carrying my Guarnivari violin to rehearsal with Elysa. Do I always read that way? No, but sometimes I do. If gives my brain more information to take and imagine with. Imagining isn't always good, but sometimes it doesn't hurt.

Why do we love, if losing hurts so much??

This one, I don't really have an answer too. I mean, we love because God loved us. And he made us in His image and likeness. So we love because of God. Losing is a result of the fall, not something God intended for us. But we have to lose, but life is life and there is still a heaven and a hell. We still have to overcome this world and our own Adam natures. We love because God loves and because He instilled in us the desire for that Love. For the Philieo (sp?) love of God. Love like you will never find anywhere else...... So those are my thoughts... I hope it makes sense....

Innocence...

Knowledge is the opposite of innocence.


You see, if you don't know something you are innocent to it or of it. But the moment you learn something, realize or know something, you can no longer be innocent of it. I would rather be innocent of all the world's intigue's and pulls. To be innocent of all of them would be a wonderful thing. But once you know of them and about them you can never regain that innocence. It is lost forever. I hope that made sense....

Hello all!!!!

I know it's been forever since I posted last. I just haven't done it, I don't know why... things have been busy, school is over though. And I am enjoying coming home and not having anything to do. Well, nothing pressing. I just do whatever I want. I've been sewing, and getting my magazine stuff done on time. The tour was.... well interesting... it was very difficult, and the other students were disrespectful. to our conductor. I was very upset at them. They had no right to take out all of there stress over finals and such on Benjamin. He didn't do anything. So, it took some doing to fix everthing, but most of the leaders see their part in the disrespect and are set of fixing things.

I do know something fun though. I found out that Symphonietta (the orchestra I am in) got an invitation to play at an International Music Festival in Argentina. WOW!!!!! That is quite an honor. We were hoping for an invitation to the Wisconsin State Music Festival. So that's a major thing. I don't know if we are going or even if I am going. Anyway......

Sarah Beth is 2 months old now. But she is sick, we got a cold bug or something going around the house, and poor Sarah Beth is sick, she has trouble breathing sometimes and when she coughs you have to sit her upright so she can regain her breath.

I bought North and South last night! It was such a great movie, I enjoyed it immensly. I can't wait to watch it again. I bought Red River too, it was only $6 so it was a good buy.

I finally got my Master and Commander soundtrack in the mail. I absolutely LOVE the Bach Cello piece on there. Yo Yo Ma, playing my favorite cello piece. Makes me want to swoon. I just love that piece, it makes me relax and just *sigh*, I love that piece, my favorite!! And Yo Yo Ma plays it so well.

Well, I should probably go, I am not feeling well either, I'm all stuffed up and groggy. So I'm going to bed soon.

Hugs

*HUGS* TOTAL!

O.k I have been up since 4:00 a.m. with maybe an hour's nap. I'm on tour with the orchestra and it's been a rough and long day. So, I'm going to bed because it is now almost 10 and I have to get up about 5 because we have to eat and be on the bus at 6:30. This is crazy... this tour has been none stop and difficult. The principal 2nd violinist got sick so I have to move up. That's fine but dropping it on me a few minutes before a concert it not easy. Then we could find the first chair first violins because they were helping the principal 2nd. So, it was interesting,..... do you know that at 7 in the morning when you have already been up for 3 hours that your brain and your fingers don't connect very well. I was clefing out and reading in bass clef instead of tenor and my fingers were playing what they were supposed to be but it wasn't matching up with what my eyes were telling my brain. Hand eye cordination wasn't the best, but finger music cordination was working grand. So anyway I am going to bed. Tomorrow I get to go home and get a big hug from mom.... yay!!!!
