cold night

today was a great alone day. the phone didn't ring. most scampering out early for family. i'm so thankful that we are experiencing a time to regroup. tomorrow we'll eat some traditional thanksgiving stuff and i hope to do some fun things with the kids. watched a portion of "age of innocence" a powerful study on the conflict between passion and obligation. can the two coexist? i believe they must. passion is hard work and very few people realize that. most see it as a wild heart, over-ruling logic and patience. i don't believe so. passion is to be kindled in the midst of the storm of life. mostpeople choose to either live stupidly and glibly. God save me from those two dark forces.
