Oh, I’d Like to Be Here

Nathia Gali – Good Morning Daisies Originally uploaded by Perfect Stranger®. This type of scenery was not uncommon during the monsoons in Murree where my brothers and I went to school. It is hard to describe how much longing this picture creates. It is one of the explanations of why I like grey days so [...]

It’s Time For a Little Hoosiers

If you have never watched Hoosiers and never really got this, and understood why it is my favorite poem of mine, well, perhaps this will help, though I really feel compelled to add a “buyer beware” when sending people to Youtube anymore, as the content of some of their videos seem to be getting worse [...]

George MacDonald’s Scotland

I was looking up a bit of information on George MacDonald today. He is the author/theologian who C.S. Lewis called his spritual master.
