by day the blue will pale down into white where it touches the white of the land, after sunset it has a new circumference-orange, melting upwards into tenderest purple. but the core of blue persists, and so it is by night. then the stars hang like lamps from the immense vault. the distance between the vault and them is as nothing to the distance behind them, and that farther distance, though beyond colour, last freed itself from blue. -e.m. forster (a passage to india)

to the sea
we went on a field trip to the natural history museum on tuesday. i was too tired to post about it tuesday night. yesterday we came out to visit at my mom and dad's, and to breathe in a little sea air. it took a long time to get here as we weren't able to leave until after a babysitting job and a play rehearsal, so we hit a lot of traffic. but the roads finally cleared and the moon was shining bright, and this morning the birds are singing a big greeting. many classes are on break. it's nice to not have to run out every afternoon. have a good rest of the holiday week.

Oh, I remember once being caught in bad traffic around NYC when trying to drive to Poughkeepsie with friends! That was also at night. Yes, I agree, it's nice to have some time off. We also don't have any classes this week and Peter gets the week off too. Wishing you some wonderful days and Happy Easter!
