the goal of intellectual education is not to know how to repeat or retain ready-made truths [a truth that is parroted is only a half-truth]. it is in learning to master the environment by oneself at the risk of losing a lot of time and going through all the roundabout ways that are inherent in real activity.

and the world spins madly on.
the best i've heard...
- "do we have to take off all our clothes for the dance party?"
- "i am not the boss!"
- "its ok, pam pam. dont cry."
- "elmy! open up!"
just so you know...
i am more of a prodigal than a saint. but grace is still offered.
i love children because they constantly remind me of just how important that eternal optimism is for the world.
i love the youth group because they make me laugh- and they let me love them.
my mother calls me "too". my father calls me "runt".
i will probably drink chocolate milk until the day i die.
i cannot make it through a day without somehow getting injured.
and i think green beans are disgusting.
but none of that really matters that much. because the truth is that it really isnt about me anyway.
