i'm feeling the weight upon my shoulders, the amount of work to complete, what with project meetings and papers and time for myself and for God. i'm telling myself that these are not Sisyphean work, but responsibilities that God has given, that i must prove faithful.

birthday celebrations are going to be over soon and looking at the repertoire of well wishes and gifts, i was surprised to find 4 books among them. They're going to be good additions to my library :) I love especially Tzing's gift to me. i've always loved good books, writings that have stood the test of time and/or scrutiny of literary lovers. I fall in love with words, travel, beauty and it seems to me that this book offers a splendid mix of it... or will it turn out to be a figment of the imagination?

The rest of the three books are also very good Christian books, although i don't know if i have the time to read all of them in the near future.

It has always been my random wish to have my own library next time. not a shelf of books, not shelves of books, but a real library of my own. And they'll all be new books with covers neatly wrapped with plastic because i can't stand yellowing pages and dog earred corners :)
