words fail me
Apr. 13th, 2003 02:44 amI fell asleep in Academic tonight, so I came back here to go to bed, but of course I was wide awake as soon as I got to the dorm. So here I am. I'm still trying to put into words just what the ceremony this afternoon was like. I wish you could all have been there. It was simply grace-filled. I am overflowing with blessedness.
And it's Holy Week! I've been so caught up in my own personal excitement and the looming finals that I totally forgot that it is now Palm Sunday and that in just one week it will be Easter. Like
laynamarya, I love Good Friday best. I'm going to have to convince the backup unsexy ride to take me to Maundy Thursday and Good Friday... it wouldn't be Holy Week without them.
I really want to finish my exams on Monday so that I can come back here and listen to all the religious music I have. Maybe go for long walks with my Walkman and my Sacred Music CDs. I just need to finish two more exams and I'll be done.
In the heartbreaking moment when you baptized me, as I descended into death in your arms, as you prayed with your hand on my hair, as I grabbed your hand and rose again into your blessed arms, I loved you, my mother-and-father. You have birthed me from the waters of baptism.
