behind the curtain

"This following type of formation is called a 'curtain.'  The foto does not nearly do it justice.  It is massive and sparkly all over.  Sincerely, people, caves are fascinating.  All the formations we saw were thousands of years old.  They are so beautiful, but hidden in the depths of the earth where humans and light hardly reach.  There was a river/stream flowing through one of the caves, and the years and years of slow erosion and molding of the rock was so evident!  Amazing!
 
For some reason that is reminding me of the most beautiful unique parts of ourselves, our inward thoughts and personalities that take so long to develop, that are continually changing and that are actually appreciated by so few.  Never completely - only by God.  And what of God?  We know so truly little of who God is. ..."

my Mr. White?

my friend lance recently had his class of fifteen-year-old chinese students write love poems in english.

here is a sample introductory verse:
 
You are my heart.
You are my liver.
You are my three quarters of life.
 
and the rest can be found here. teacher lance has some creative students!
