dream room

I love everything about this sweet cozy room. I just want to hop on that bed with my feet on the pillows, a cup of tea on that bench at the end and a good book (I'm currently reading The Story of a Soul). I'm having some friends over in a bit for a reading party. Is that nerdy? We're going to be reading Evangeli Gaudium out loud #Catholicnerds

Sunday

Sometimes we encounter God through beauty.

Ender's Game

The premiere of Ender’s Game was heart breaking. Not a book meant to be adapted to film evidently. The acting was great and so were the sets, but the story is so much of what is going on inside Ender’s mind and that’s really hard to translate into a movie. Either you would have Ender narrate the entire thing and have a movie with very little dialogue, or you transfer his thoughts into dialogues and the whole result is just bizarre for anyone who’s read the book. I’ve read Ender’s Game probably 6 or 7 times, I’d be interested to know what people think of the movie if they’ve never read the book. Let me know once you go see it!

cette fin de semaine

This weekend consisted of apple picking, long walks along the neighbour hood, ice cream shared with a good friend (not pictured, we ate them too quickly) and me sporting a Bardot inspired hair do. Today I stopped by Starbucks after mass to indulge in some reading and people watching. I ended up meeting three producers from DFP (they produced Royal Canadian Air Farce). They were meeting pitchers one after another. I couldn't help but eavesdrop. I talked with them and was given a card and offered the opportunity to pitch a show idea if I ever had one. Anyone want to write a show with me? ;)

What did you guys do this weekend?

I just spent a lovely morning at my parish. We had a BBQ after mass and it was so nice to spend some time with my community and good friends/neighbours. I hope you are all having a wonderful day and hopefully you also have some nice sunshine wherever you are :)

je t'aimerai jusqu'à la fin du monde

Ce croquis se retrouvais dans ma chambre lorsque j'étais enfant. Je me souviens de toujours avoir aimé le beau cadre doré dans lequel il se situait. Ma mère est une artiste, mais aussi une historienne de l'art exceptionnelle. Elle m'a légué son don d'apprécier les belles choses. Ce soir j'ai terminé le livre de Gregory Charles, N'oublie jamais. À mon tour, malgré que je ne sois pas écrivaine, un des autres talents de ma mère, je tenais à écrire quelques mots à son sujet. C'est une femme incroyable ma mère. Je t'aime maman.

ah but you got away, didn't you babe

I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best, 
I can't keep track of each fallen robin. 
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, 
that's all, I don't even think of you that often.

The fear of regret can at times be paralyzing.

quiet

My friend sent me a text the other day asking me what I was up to. Before I had a chance to respond she asked: "Are you reading a book and drinking tea?". That girl knows me! I've been awful good at being social these past few days. Sometimes I just really need to recharge. Looking forward to this upcoming week, I'm going to read books and ignore the world.

splendor

"I would not like to live in a world without cathedrals. I need their beauty and grandeur. I need their imperious silence. I need it against the witless bellowing of the barracks yard and the witty chatter of the yes-men. I want to hear the rustling of the organ, this deluge of ethereal notes. I need it against the shrill farce of marches." — Pascal Mercier (Night Train to Lisbon)

seeking refuge

Amidst all of this tragedy, it is important that we do not lose hope or faith. There is good in this world, but alas for this good to exist, there must be free will. I suggest that, instead of harboring feelings of anger for the perpetrator of the tragedy in Boston, we pray for them. One's soul must be in a very dark place in order to commit the things that were done today. Of course, my prayers also go out to the victims, their families and their loved ones.

I'll be your honey bee

Spring is in the air. Son avènement a pris une éternité, mais le voilà enfin! Je suis si incertaine de ma vocation, je passe beaucoup de temps à prier ces temps-ci. Ça me fait du bien. J'ai souvent l'impression d'implorer plusieurs choses auprès de Dieu, mais j'oublie d'écouter...

losing grip

Afternoon tea time. Last night I had the most vivid dream. I was losing my teeth one by one and could do nothing to stop it. I struggle with feelings of anxiety as I'm weeks from completing my undergraduate degree and being thrust into the real world. I don't feel ready. I feel as if time is moving far too quickly. I've got two soccer games this evening, hopefully I'll be able to get rid of some stress by running.

I miss you, but that's alright

don't turn away from me

 

Just had a soccer game and feel like a marshmallow.  I'm now going to drag myself to the shower and then go for drinks with a dear friend. Hope you have a great week!

c'est de la folie nos rythmes de vie

 

Ferme les yeux
Qu'est-ce que tu veux?
Qu'est-ce que tu vois?
Moi, c'est toi.
