Lovely, Dark and Deep

This blog is often the place where I document the "big" events, the trips to famous cities, and the most memorable of occasions. There are, however, so many small moments that have entirely captivated and changed my hear since I have stepped upon this English soil.

The weather has been warming here lately, and it has turned my attentions out of doors. There are several neat trails in the woods surrounding the Manor, and Grantham has a lovely canal that I often like to ride my bike alongside. I find that my thoughts feel more my own out of doors, and my walks among the green mossy trees and sweet snow drops have become some of my favorite memories. I am reminded of how much my Kansas spirit loves the wilderness. I am often disillusioned with the materialism and busyness of big cities such as London. I am thankful for the opportunity to visit such places, and the blessing of the woods to retreat to when my spirit needs renewed.


In the words of Robert Frost, "the woods are lovely dark and deep.... and I have miles to go before I sleep."
