Good to be back!

Love is beauty and beauty is truth,
and that is why in the beauty of a flower
we can see the truth of the universe.
~Gautama Buddha

My break from blogging lasted much longer than I thought it would. I can't believe it's been almost a year! And what a year it's been, I've experienced so much - a new job that I love (working at the library,) the illness and death of my dearest friend, and a move to a wonderful new house. Through it all, relationships have deepened, and I'm reminded again and again how important family and friends are.

Wishing you love and blessings on this 08/08/08.
