It turns out I am not as deep as I wanted to be -- pretty uncomplicated. I like hitting things, smashing things, running around, and generally wasting energy.--
I chose this picture because it moved me. I think I love people; and, it is important to note that I have been taught this.--
I love standing for something, alone or with a group. This is because every day is a battle -- if it wasn't I wouldn't love standing for something.--
Although this is a commentary on child labor I am choosing this photo because it is filled with the pathos of a heart yearning and feeling. And in the business of the day I love taking time to feel and listen. I have regained this here in Maine.

Work. I have been saying this for the last few years. I have learned that I'm not as hard a worker as I thought I was, I wish I was more. But dispite this I still love it; and, this love stems from something that work gives me.

This is a given that I have recently decided how grateful I am for it. I have read this book so much that I almost forgot if it meant as much to me as it should. I love it, I read it, and I wish I loved it more.

This is a pretty simple list. I have tried to complicate it more in my life but my wants or needs are pretty simple -- I really don't need much more to be happy than the essence of what these things mean. I am learning to come to terms with this.

In all seriousness I really appreciate that you showed me this. There is a lot going on inside of Oliver and it often leaves a great impression on me. I appreciate your sharing some of these most personal thoughts with me on occation. You often give me something important to think about.
Yes, as your mother, I read your blog (I check about 3 times a day for updates) and am always impressed by your thoughts. This time I am also impressed by your choice of photos to compliment your thoughts. You make me proud to be your mom.
