The More Loving One

 Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
 That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
 But on earth indifference is the least
 We have to dread from man or beast.

 How should we like it were stars to burn
 With a passion for us we could not return?
 If equal affection cannot be,
 Let the more loving one be me.

 Admirer as I think I am
 Of stars that do not give a damn,
 I cannot, now I see them, say
 I missed one terribly all day.

 Were all stars to disappear or die,
 I should learn to look at an empty sky
 And feel its total dark sublime,
 Though this might take me a little time.

— W H Auden

This poem was mentioned in an episode of Felicity I watched today. I love that show! It brings back memories of a little apartment in Fayetteville where Erica and I watched a marathon of the whole series. Anyway, I see someone I know or have known in each of the characters. Love that it is on Netflix! Love that I can call my sister and agonize over every episode again! :)

I smell that one of the boys needs a diaper change.

Me-“Ry did you poopy? You need a diaper change.”

Ry-(Shakes head) “No”

Me-“Sammy did you go poo poo?”

Sammy-(Looks at Ry) (Ry shakes his head as if to warn Sammy to deny) “No”

“There can be no situation in life in which the conversation of my dear sister will not administer some comfort to me.” Mary W.

      “A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost.” Marion G.

“For there is no friend like a sister, in calm or stormy weather, to cheer one on the tedious way, to fetch one if one goes astray, to lift one if one totters down, to strengthen whilst one stands.” Christina R

I never dreamed home would end up where I don’t belong. :(
