Love is the greatest gift of all.
I love to go swinging.
(For the beauty seen in something finely spun.)
Sweet Weariness
Fatigue itself may be a pleasant thing
And weariness be silken, soft and fine!
Upon my eyes its little vapors shine,
Trailing me softly like a colored wing!
Tender as when belovéd voices sing
It steals upon me and with touch divine
Lulls all my senses till each thought of mine
Is hushed to quiet, unremembering.
Oh, weariness thrice dear, so frailly spun
Of ended pleasure that still shines and glows;
Oh, weariness, thrice dear! What have I done
To earn this delicate and deep repose?
Child, thou hast worshiped at the setting sun
And looked, long, long, upon the opening rose.
~~Anna Hempstead Branch
A love that surpasses all understanding can exist here on earth with all of its suffering.

About Lilly
So here goes, I'm a mother of one child. I am learning to be an independent woman in charge of the choices I have to make for the moments I live here and now. I am learning who I am through the perspective of who I am in Christ. My son is a true joy. I love to write in journals, blog online, scrapbook, read and swim. I am finding so much about myself, and am loving every moment that I am taken back by the memories I make which replace heartache and sorrow...and even moments I care not to remember. I'm finally letting go. I'm allowing me, as a woman grounded in Christ, to experience life as it happens. Welcome to my journey through it!
