Flow into the knowledge that what you are seeking
finishes often at the start, and, with ending, begins."
When I first started this blog, summer 2007, it was because we were moving out to Boston for grad school. Da Capo Al Fine is a musical term which means to go back to the beginning, and I felt that I was returning to my music passions, by going to grad school for musical theater. Now we are returning to Chicago and much closer to home for both of us, which also feels like a Da Capo Al Fine...
Rainier Maria Rilke puts my feelings nicely...
Want the change. Be inspired by the flame
where everything shines as it disappears.
The artist, when sketching, loves nothing so much
as the curve of a body as it turns away.
What locks itself in sameness has congealed.
Is it safer to be gray and numb?
What turns hard becomes rigid
and is easily shattered.
Pour yourself out like a fountain.
Flow into the knowledge that what you are seeking
finishes often at the start, and, with ending, begins.
Every happiness is the child of a separation
it did not think it could survive. And Daphne, becoming a laurel,
dares you to become the wind.
Good bye Boston! We did a lot of growing here...

What a nice post to say good-bye to Boston. You'll be home no matter where the road takes you, dear one, for you always have Him with you.
It doesn't even seem real to me yet since I haven't had the privilege of seeing you skip through town on your way to Chicago. I hope you're settling in nicely and I'm praying for a day soon when we can come and see you! Lots of love to you! xo
Loved helping you unpack at your wonderful apartment in Chicago, Jayme! A new community to "Pour your self out like a fountain"...I love that! I love you!!! Lorimom
