It was her nature to make schedules, lists, that sort of thing.

Yes, a Star Wars metaphor. It was no good trying to squeeze herself into what the world expected, either.
Some things still made it onto lists, albeit unconsciously. He had to be growing in his relationship with God; he had to laugh at her jokes when he thought they were funny; he had to like kids.
Most of all, he had to see her as beautiful and intelligent and not see that as a contradiction in terms.
But she'd wasn't trying to follow lists or schedules; these things couldn't be rushed or predicted and were full of guesswork, all stuff that were not natural to her. Back to homework.

Aww, this is lovely. I hope you are happy/find lasting happiness.
ReplyDeleteIt's more of the find lasting happiness.
ReplyDeleteThat's okay, though. Still working on being fully okay with the whole waiting in the Houses of Healing.
Well, if you are unhappy there, why must you stay?
ReplyDeleteI'm not necessarily unhappy. Eowyn met Faramir in the Houses of Healing. Not to say that there's any correlations, because there's not. I just figure that God's still working on me, you know?
ReplyDeleteGood answer, of course.
ReplyDeleteYet I don't have all the answers, for sure.
