I love that. There is something so beautiful about just being. I also love shadowlands and that quote. I used to have a book bag when I was a kid, that I would drag everywhere and read. I spent a lot of time alone as a child and ponder things. I love when you see people in a new way and know it'll never be the same. I love when you care so much for people that you feel saddened when people say their name but it just isn't right or doesn't have the right ring to it. I've always daydreamed that I was this great artist and I could draw pictures of my friends and get the essence of them in it, not like a photo but the way you see them through your eyes. Its funny my best friend swears she has this horrible skin and that highschool was the worst, but I have always seen her as beautiful, I look back at old pics and I see how I would be frustrated if it was me. Yet to me I don't even notice it. She just is beauty. Anyway thanks for writing blogs that draw me to think, or agree or just a beautiful reminiscing on people I love and reminicant memories of unexplainable thoughts feelings and memories where words fail. Blessings my friend. Hi Benji! I love that. There is something so beautiful about just being. I also love shadowlands and that quote.

That's an interesting question about the root of melancholy. I bet you're right. Yeah Shadowland was an awesome movie. That's a really good quote. Thanks!

I wonder if the root word in melancholy comes from a dark mood, like melanin is a skin pigment. It was hot here today under the sun, sweating, and the shade of trees was welcome. Like CS Lewis learned from one of his students in the movie "Shadowland", we read to know we are not alone. Enjoyed reading your thoughts. great photos, lithographs, interesting topic.

Right on. Beautifully said yourself, my good friend. Speaking of which, when are we going to get the chance to share the quietude of melancholy at the park again?

I love it! So perfectly said - I wish I had written it. :) How often I have come to the end of my words, however insightful or clever I thought I should have been before thereby - only to find that the deepest meaning may reside between two people in the experience of quietude.. merely being together, one in thought and spirit; such blissful moments I would never trade for ten-thousand words.
