greg is off this week but went out for a walk. morgana was studying but relieved chanda at a babysitting gig as she had to run off to rehearse with her ballet teacher, so i'm here with the cats updating the blog. i'm feeling sad that carrie fisher has died. she was such an honest, humorous, witty and irreverent soul that i will greatly miss her comments on life and her warm heart. she also played one of the most iconic female characters of the twentieth and twenty first centuries: princess leia or general leia organa. the character, and the actress, is such a strong role model for many young women of today. i truly believe that the actress' life is just as heroic as the character's. she lived honestly and passionately and cared about the people she touched in her life. i appreciated anne théreault's eulogy of her feelings and thoughts on carrie's passing in relation to the character she played. i wish she was still with us.
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)
