Some quotes from the Odyssey... because that's what I'm studying whilst I'm homesick.
"His eyes were perpetually wet with tears now, his life draining away in homesickness."
"Still, I want to go back. My heart aches for the day I return to my home. If some god hits me hard as I sail the deep purple, I'll weather it like the sea-bitter veteran I am. God knows I've suffered and had my share of sorrows in war and at sea. I CAN TAKE MORE IF I HAVE TO."
and also:
some little poemlets I wrote while at the coffee shop with Connor tonight:
Coffee Shop
Sitting in a coffee shop,
looking out the window:
I'm just watching snow drop;
the passion in me rekindled.
The lights here are so pretty,
but also very bright.
My country soul is weakened,
but STILL I put up a fight.
