| Keep a careful watch on yourself.
Do not allow yourself to be swept away
by external obsessions.
The tumultuous movements of the soul,
in particular,
can be rendered quiet by stillness.
But if you keep encouraging and stimulating them,
they will start to terrorize you
and can disorder your whole life.
Once they are in control, it is hard to heal them
as it is to soothe a sore that we can't stop scratching.
~ Abba Philemon

| Yay! back in Chicago! Our Apartment will be ready in Dec. and until then we've been bunking at family and friends homes on weekdays and in Indiana on the weekend.
I can't wait to breath.
Trick or treating and soul cakes at grandmas house.
If your unable to tell, Chloe is a vampire Geisha.
I Love this pic of Jon and Mylo on the train.
It was one of our last warm days.

| Its official, everything in my container garden has died 
Everything had fruit, except for my beans, dumb squirrels.
We came back from MN (beautiful state, short trip) last night and found that my greens had finally wilted into nothingness. I need to comprise a traveling garden next spring. Maybe I'd be able to tend to the plants more.

| "Now-here is my secret:
I tell it to you with an openness of heart that I doubt I shall ever achieve again, so I pray that you are in a quiet room as you hear these words. My secret is that I need God- that I am sick and can no longer make it alone. I need God to help me give, because I no longer seem to be capable of giving; to help me be kind, as I no longer seem capable of kindness; to help me love, as I seem beyond being able to love." -Douglas Coupland
