It's been a really incredible week-and-a-half... lots of hardwork and heavy 'weight lifting'. It was extremely tiring, but was all worth it because the results were too awesome! Lots of overwhelming moments of little triumphs here and there, tons of sweet bonding moments with people you didn't think you could get along with, loads of amazing discoveries, an overflow of renewed commitment and affection, a rich sprinkling of strange feelings and odd situations but amazingly nice just the same, mesmerizing beauty of friendship, faith and hope. Lots of love in the air... for each other, for the Institution that sustains our sense of community and friendship, and for the one God that makes all this beauty and sense of appreciation possible.
Yep, very, very nice days, indeed! So much to celebrate for... so many, many incredible gifts from up above! Therefore, we celebrate with something suitable... something extravagantly beautiful, soothing, and deeply touching...
"Will you stay with me, will you be my love?
...I never made promises lightly. And there have been some that I've broken.
But I swear in the days still left, we'll walk in the fields of gold."
"Fields of gold" by Sting... one of my favorite songs. Beautiful words and beautiful music, put together by one beautiful man (*sigh*) - Sting, of course. :) It's even nicer when you listen to it with earphones, hearing nothing else but the rhythm created by the bass (played by Sting himself) and some drums, the mesmerizing guitar playing, and Sting's beautifully accented singing.
Oy! Life is good... challenging, but good! Thank you, Lord!

The celebration ain't complete without some 'rounded beauty'... and I swear, I need to kick something round around, too, just to dissipate some energy. My belly is on fire, I feel like I'm spittin' some anytime. :) Therefore, time for some footie beauty via UEFA Champions League... bring on Milan vs. Barça! Oy, oy, oy!
