Perhaps this is where I get my dancing talent?

Not too far back in the family tree there is a lot of Swede, this could explain a lot.

The morning after
storm, the land yields sea treasure.

Trouble my water.

--Phyllis Zylstra McGuinness

Dream Deferred
Langston Hughes

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

i carry your heart with me
e.e. cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

peas and utfart

In Swedish they use funny words. For example, utfart. I think it means path, or way, or road or something like that. Needless to say we laughed a lot in Stockholm.

I Need Africa More than Africa Needs Me

This video was posted on my friends' blog, and I am in love with it. The people who made the video are starting a campaign to sell t shirts to raise money for aid, but as my friend Nathan put it, they do it showing the utmost dignity and respect for the people they are helping. We tend to put things and people into our American box and miss the beauty around us because it doesn't make sense with our perspective. These people have joy without much money and with few possessions, and that, my friends, is true joy.

Maybe I should use Etrade

this may solve some problems.
