"an average of serenity"
thought one:
"the most essential part of our being is contained in language. "
thought two:
marriage is for servants. yeah companionship, yeah romance, yeah soul-mates, whatever.
serving The Other is:
~the ROLE of woman
~the task (quality) of man
in short: say "i do" only when ready to be made a servant for the rest of your life.
thought three:
i use "interesting" way overly exceedingly much, but i do so in all sincerity.
thought four:
funny how our powers of observation focus themselves.
some women notice shoes. i notice hands. some count "ummm"s or "like"s in conversations or lectures. others notice dialect [pronounciation of "what," "were," and "pen"]. some make a study of gait; others zero in on brands or the number of times someone has worn a certain pair of jeans in a two week period [ah... junior high bliss...]
how much to study in people!
~their prayers [the title they use for God!]
~the way they eat a taco
~where they look when searching for a word [supposed: to the right=symbolic thinking; to the left=visual (creative) thinking]
~posture
~nervous habits
~response to rebuke
~response to praise
~response to pain
so much! and how much do we ignore... just gazing over a sea of people... what significance do they have to me, anyways? they're just people. just a person... just one in 6 billion...

hey JC, thanks for reading.
Caleb- I should have put it in quotes... it was from a class yesterday and i was too much of a hurry to go into detail.
something to the effect of:
our thoughts/aspirations, which so define who we are, are contained pretty much (this is where the argument lies) in language
it was just a thought i wanted to remember, i haven't had time to mull over it yet.
