Building our own cathedrals...

"A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral."-- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I stumbled upon this snip of thought the other day and passed it by, thinking it to be just another random quote that fills our life, but as I went on throughout my day it replayed across my mind when I least suspected it, after I thought it was long forgotten, and demanded a little more of my attention.

We all have rock piles, perhaps of different sizes but they're still there, made up of our fears, trials, losses, pain, and more. I realized that I didn't want my rock pile to be anything but that: a rock pile. Where would I keep my rocks if I didn't have my rock pile? Until we are given more of vision of what our rocks can be: beautiful cathedrals. Why have a rock pile when you can have something much more beautiful? I know it may sound so cliche but it's what I needed today.

We went to Brooke's basketball game a few weeks ago and we had just as much fun watching Logan as we did the game. Logan just learned how to say Tony's name. "Nnooo nie" It's so cute! I love it. Holly says that sometimes he will just walk around the house with his hands out like he's looking for something and says over and over, "Ere's Nony? Ere's Jajie?" We have so much fun with him. We're good buds :-)
