no, maybe it isn't but it sure feels that way as I choose to focus on one or the other when it comes to the two essays I have to write this weekend.
Meanwhile, I'm eating a "second" dinner of oatmeal. My first was really a super duper late lunch of a salad, but this was needed after work. goal towards graduation going "well". But yet again, it's the first day...so we'll see. We CAN DO IT!!! We meaning I, because there's really only one one doing this whole thing.
Peter wants us to really dive in and pull out one solid argument. I want to do something concerning the Little Match Girl. But what? Object to one of his prompts?.....

Beauty or Matches
-andersen seems to create his magic in tangible magic that is actually real in the world
--the matches suddenly lighting and then going out
--shooting stars
--magical starry night
--magic of new years eve
--death
--senses
--light, better than its surroundings, enlightening, warmth, a source of sight, to turn on, out like a light, in a -- light (or within a certain expression within some sort of subject or category), light at the end of the tunnel=death, the light of your life, see the light and to understand
How does andersen really shed light on the magic in his stories though? that's just it, he does it with light. the example of his use of light in the little match girl goes to show just how deep the light can reach in the ocean of our thoughts. The shooting star brings her her grandmother, just as the matches have magically brought her warmth and a bit of joy and comfort, although just the instant they appear, the illuminated images are gone. Poof, like magic. And she lights another, and it lights up a new magical new years evening, with goose and family love.
Is this really what I want to be writing about here though? I think it is, that and many other things. We'll see though. Right now the goal is so much more than that. And it's gotta revolve around God. Because he's who i'm lacking in my life. I just know it! God help me to know you and to want you in my life and to KEEP you in my life. You're here to love me and for me to depend on and need, because I DO need you. I pray that I see you and feel you in my presence always. you are all wonderful, that you did all of this for us!! Help me to see that. Amen
