Hey all, I'm home! And very annoyed because I just wrote out a whole post and lost it.
It's been an awesome week and 1/2... and coming home is bittersweet. I miss the lake (especially swimming across, the water was so perfect!) the sunshine and the fellowship, but it's great to talk to you all again and have a computer, not to mention the difference between the cottage piano and our piano is like indescribable. I always got depressed after playing it. lol and I definetly don't miss the bugs!!
For all you picture freaks, I might post some, I haven't decided yet. But Liz probably will so check out her blog.
For now, I'll let you see the poem I wrote while I was there. I actully wrote part of it in a canoe...
Inspiring, yes. Easy, no. Basically, while the wind blew me straight into the trees, I slapped one of the gazillion hoprseflies trying to eat me and promtly dropped my notebook into a big puddle at the bottom of my canoe. (yeah it had a leak, just a little one.)
But anyway I'm talking way too much, so here it is and then I'll go bug someone else.
Can you count the stars?
Countless worlds, that twinkle and dance,
high in the heavens,
yet just beyond our grasp.
And tell me, Who's the Artist,
who at sunset and sunrise,
with a million brilliant colours,
paints the sky?
Who lit the match
that set the sun aflame?
Was it all just chance,
or does He have a name?
Where were we when it happened?
Why are we here now?
Can we pretend to comprehend
somehow?
But even though men change,
our world remains the same,
and while man believes that he decides what's true
the whole creation testifies to You.

Hi Heidi! I'm glad you had a nice time at the cottage -- we did too!
As usual, I am amazed at your ability to write meaningful poetry, and am glad that the uninspiring piano, leaky canoe, and gazilion horseflies didn't deter you from your creativity!;)
love Auntie Rachel
