moon.

a pillar of fire by night, of cloud by day

 

  

The rocky ledge runs far into the sea,
   And on its outer point, some miles away,
The Lighthouse lifts its massive masonry,
   A pillar of fire by night, of cloud by day.

Even at this distance I can see the tides,
   Upheaving, break unheard along its base,
A speechless wrath, that rises and subsides
   In the white lip and tremor of the face.

And as the evening darkens, lo! how bright,
   Through the deep purple of the twilight air,
Beams forth the sudden radiance of its light
   With strange, unearthly splendor in the glare! 

 

 Excerpt from The Lighthouse by Henry Wadson Longfellow

HELLO.

Hello. What's up?

I started guitar. I sorta know some of the notes, so I've been trying to figure out how to play some songs. Yesterday I played some of Tenth Avenue North's "You Are More" and today I played Chris Rice's "Untitled Hymn (Come to Jesus)"...not very well, of course, but I figured out most of the notes. (And - this is random - I don't really get the name of that song, but whatever.)  It wasn't that hard, but the strings hurt your fingers. =)

Tonight I have volleyball camp.

And I'm sure you all want to hear some great songs, RIGHT!?????? Yes, you totally do.

By the way, if the last song doesn't work, sorry. For some reason it only works sometimes. =)

Balloons!

 It was my birthday and I got balloons! I love balloons. We did a little "photo shoot" (with this awesome photographer! =) - here are the pics!!!

Happy Sunday!

xoxo,
