Ecclesiastes 3.1 reads: There is a time for everything, a season for every activity under heaven.
How wonderful that God gives us such moments; how wonderful that all these seasons are created by Him and for Him. And we are touched in the process of creation. When I look back at last year and the people that I've met, I am overcome by His goodness.
This past weekend, I had the privilege of spending time, living life, with a very good friend. It was hard saying goodbye today; I don't think I like bus stops or train stations very much.
Barely holding it together, I went to see her off mid-afternoon and met her at the bay. It had just stopped raining - briefly - for the time we had to say our good-byes. Then the bus came, the luggage was loaded, and hugs were exchanged. As the bus pulled away, the sky broke again.
Pathetic fallacy - the attribution of human emotions or reponses to inanimate things, especially to the environment.
It poured so heavily the rest of the afternoon.
Walking back to the English Faculty for seminar, I wiped my eyes. There is a time for everything and you give thanks for the seasons.

You have a good heart Trudy.. I praise God for that. I asked the question myself a few months ago.. Why did God create us with emotions? My prof's response: without emotion life would be quite bland.
