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)

a 25th birthday
greg and pluto resting together on the afternoon of morgan's birthday.
Thank you Eva. Today I was thinking how it has been twenty years since Korrina was born . . No, it's been twenty EIGHT years since Korrina was born . . a number much closer to 30! And now Morgana is 25. I remember being 25. I liked it. I felt much more stable and sure of myself.
I was about that age when I met Peter. I think it is a time when we become more "grounded." Yes, 28 is much closer to 30 . . . Peter will be 50 this year, how time flies!
Happy, happy birthday!

DeleteI was 25 when I met Greg, which probably adds to my feeling of being grounded as it was an especially happy time.
DeleteSo we were about the same age :).
