Twilight

So I finished the Twilight series yesterday in a rush of reading forgoing responsibilities like taking out the recycling- now it will pile up for 2 MORE weeks, and letting poor Ruby out of the Kali's house, not intentional of course I just was that absorbed. We go out to La Push a lot, one of our favorite places to escape, so we have been watching the Twilight tour bus (WTH) come down and all these teenagers pile off and take pictures, Edward's name written in charcoal on driftwood, etc. We have been making fun of it to say the least and crap now that i've read them.. maybe i have to stop? Maybe not that drastic, just tone it down a little. :) I probably like the books for other reasons, not as much for the love story part but the Magic in it. Just like I loved Harry Potter. Its fun to think that another reality is happening at the same time and we aren't aware of it, that things can be just because its magic without any science. Anyway, just a plug for the books, that if you haven't read them you may want to check them out. I'm always a little bummed after I finish books that i'm excited to read...let me know if you've read any good ones lately.

Old Turtle and Hope

A story about how we all once listened and heard and saw but stopped somewhere along the way. From Old Turtle to the little girl- "Remember this also, Little One, " she said. "The Broken Truth, and life itself, will be mended only when on person meets another- someone from a different place or with a different face or different ways- and sees and hears...herself.

Tonight we read Old Turtle by Douglas Wood.

Its not often that kids books that you have read alot, over and over as kids like to do, give you goose bumps and the chills because the message is so amazing. If you haven't read it, maybe you could?
