Examinations

Last night, I gleefully skipped out of my very last final exam as an undergraduate...the thrill was exhilarating. No more classrooms, no more books, no more teachers' dirty looks! Graduation is this Sunday, Pentecost, at 8 am...I guess they don't think church is all that important or that anyone actually goes anymore.

On an entirely separate note, why is love so difficult and yet it is so crucial? Struggle, try, love, fail, try, love, fail, struggle...I'm always getting in my own way.

For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation. Rainer Maria Rilke

So, in utter duality... Yipee and Lord have mercy.
