A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. [...] Else to-morrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another. --Ralph Waldo Emerson

A Very Belated Birth Story
Here is a prize for all of you loyal readers. I have, only 18 months late, completed Matilda's birth story. You can read it here. I started the post on her first birthday and only completed it today. So, if you are so inclined, you can read it. I know a lot of you have heard this story before, but it's a good one and worth reading. I will warn you, though, that it is very, very long and not for the queasy.
Fantastic story. Amazing you can remember it in such detail.
ReplyDeletePardon me for not commenting longer; I feel the need to get a vasectomy or something.
Wow -- you could give Steven King a run for his money with that story. I really hope you'll be going to St. Mary's the next time around.
