...but party lights are forever.

p.s. i love you erin and hannah. these were the craziest/hardest/funniest/most ridiculous four years of my life--and they wouldn't have happened without you guys. you were there from day stinking one. (and don't you even think you can get me out of your like now. doneskies.)

every grain of sand

"i am hanging in the balance/of the reality of man/like every sparrow fallen/like every grain of sand." --bob dylan

Matthew 10
²⁹Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. ³⁰But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. ³¹Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

^{Hebrews 11
11}By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised. ¹²Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.

friday!

i'm highly considering having this playing tomorrow morning as my students are coming into the classroom.
