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)

yarn along
i have started the canyonlands shawl, and atul gawande's being mortal . .
Lovely yarn! Well done to C for typing so proficiently and yes her handwriting is beautiful. Those books look sp peaceful and pretty and are full of purposeful work, C has a right to feel justifiably proud! She is very blessed to have such a great group of friends to hang out with, just wish we could transport ourselves over to your neck of the woods :-)
You have to let me know how you like this book. I have seen two grandmothers die in nursing homes, in both cases there were no unnecessary procedures or interventions. Does the book mention feeding tubes? My grandmothers did not want those and both basically denied to eat towards the end. Peter's grandmother does have a feeding tube. I am curious what the book says about this. I do understand that you miss David Copperfield! Have you ever thought about putting your own medial wishes into a health care proxy or will? Or have you actually done it? So much to think about.
So far I haven't read anything about feeding tubes. I will let you know. It's more difficult for me to pick up at night before falling asleep. It's not a novel in which I can escape into a different world :)
Greg and I haven't done anything yet about a health care proxy, but my parents both have one. I'm not sure if my sister has one yet. It is so much to think about . . and not something that one really wants to do.
Gorgeous color! I'm seeing a lot of shawls being worked up on the linky parties...I have so many ideas pinned but haven't chosen THAT one yet...or found just the right yarn. (Hopping by from Yarn Along.)
Thanks Jessy, It took me awhile to finally settle on this pattern. Good luck with picking a project. Maybe you'll have to stop at a lys and get a feel for some nice yarn to help you choose :) Thanks for stopping by.
I love the color of your shawl and very cute stitch marker!
ReplyDeleteThanks Desiree, the stitch marker is from the Lionbrand store.

I do wish we could hop about to each other's home as if we were just down the street from each other . . :)

I guess that would not be a good book to read at night.
DeleteYes, all those decisions have so many sides. And who wants to think about this!
