But wait, oh wait ...

See how the morning breaks
It's the simplest of love songs, 

but it's all our hearts can take.

Mystery

So, I was a bit upset when I rambled on for two pages in my journal about all of my insecurities and quesitons, and doubts, finally ending with this: "All I believe in is beauty. Like in Nature and Music. And things Organic. And things genuine... (wherever they may be)."

Is it funny then, that I saw a wild fox cross the road on my way home from work, and a wild hare trot across my street while riding my bicycle? Also, I find it more than coincidental that after nearly 3 years of searching, my favorite album of music showed up out of the blue. Then, Meg - who at this point I am considering might be a genuine angel -  starts talking to me in the middle of class again, and convinces me in her manner, that sincerity exists on earth.

Perhaps God is speaking to me? All of the things I said I believed in, that brought me joy, it appears he keeps gifting to me, and softly whispering: "Here I am."

But no where in the Bible does it say "You shall see a wild rabbit cross your street, then you shall know I am God."

I don't want the gospel to be something my mind creates.

Things I don't learn at School:

Birds who make nests are the ones that sing. Birds who steal other birds' nest, and lay their eggs in them, don't. Chew it.

Love is the beginning and end of everything.

Currently in school,
my teacher is trying to teach me how to be a teacher. 

[So that I can show people what words mean]

This week I have the project of creating a vocabulary lesson where I must teach non-native English Speakers what
"being in love" means. [This is for reals]

How do we teach something we don't fully know?
I'm sitting in the kitchen trying to do this homework; the radio is on, and "loveline" is playing. But it's not offering me any help.

All I can think is, sometimes, I get this feeling inside when I am standing beside a great expansive lake (or the ocean). It feels like taking a deep breath, and being filled with peace. There is this growing, powerful feeling of grandeur from the depths you know lie beneath the waters. You feel overwhelmed and excited, yet calm and hopeful at the same time. Well, sometimes I get that feeling when I am beside you...

So maybe that's a step in the right direction.
But how do I explain that to TEFL students?
Or should I just give them a standard "loveline" answer?

Case in Point.
