Stargirl

Hello, blogosphere! Long time no see!

Yesterday was nice. I woke up late and found my mother downstairs, going about her business with a large babydoll attached to her hip. She informed me that it was my new sibling, whose gender still remains a mystery. It looks like a medieval cross-dressing infant.. I think we'll name it Taylor or Sam lol.

I spent the day wearing a floor-length silk nightgown, which made me feel simultaneously older and younger, and re-read one of my favorite childhood books, Stargirl. It's about this luminous teenaged girl who spends her time making gifts for strangers, cheering for both teams during football games, and playing "happy birthday" on her ukelele to people in the school cafeteria. I wanted to be just like her when I was a kid.

Later in the evening, I went to a WatersEdge-related gathering to hear Miles talk about spiritual leadership. It was exciting for me, and I can't wait to implement the things I learned. Afterward, the grace-full Annie Morgan and I spent some time outside a nearby coffee shop, talking about life and love and school and, of course, God. It was a much-needed breath of fresh air.
