I'm curious to discover the American environment, and I'm looking forward to sharing it with you. I wonder what the contrast will be like. Hopefully I will enjoy it just as much as I've enjoyed the nature here. I'm really going to miss the UK: I can't tell you how much!

I'm very sorry to hear about your dad's stroke. It must be really hard being separated from him. You are very strong to cope with your hardships. I pray your dad recovers well.

78) Can insanity bring on more creativity?

It can, although I wouldn't exalt insanity. Nevertheless, a favorite verse of mine is said to have been written by an inmate in an insane asylum. This is the verse, part of the hymn "The Love of God":

Could we with ink the ocean fill,

And were the skies of parchment made,

Were every stalk on earth a quill,

And every man a scribe by trade,

To write the love of God above,

Would drain the ocean dry.

Nor could the scroll contain the whole,

Though stretched from sky to sky.
