"You are so young, so before all beginning, and I want to beg you, as much as I can, to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer."

I am officially moved out of my apartment now. I cleaned, finished packing, and turned in the keys on Saturday. It has been a LONG process--but it is finished and I could not have done it without the help of wonderful friends. THANK YOU! Now, I sit here and look as snow is on the ground and, supposedly, more to fall tonight. I am so ready for spring--as are most Midwesterners at this point!!

The quote above is one that was on the hand out for Mass on Sunday. (This is the longer version I found on the net). I, as can most people, appreciate his advice to live the questions and not to worry so much about the answers, eventually we'll live them! I think I need to put this on my mirror so I see it every morning when I wake up, reminding me to "live the questions."

I enjoyed some time at the Mount this past weekend. While I was there I went around and took some photos. The Easter Lily above is one of those. The flowers in the choir chapel are gorgeous and even though the outside is not bringing us much new life these days, the flowers in the chapel reminded me that, SOMEDAY, spring will come! Flowers are such a wonderful reminder of life---I hope to see more of them very soon!

This afternoon I get to enjoy some time at a local T.V. station. I get to go be a part of the editing process for a clip on tonight's news. Should be a very interesting opportunity.

Off to do a dance for sun & warmth!
