Midnight Clear

I can't believe there are only three more weeks of university left; I'm going to miss everything about it... I'm going to miss running to lectures in the mornings, sitting down with hallmates over breakfast, going out to movies on Tuesday nights, and studying in the library beside the window and looking out at bare trees and misty mornings, chattering squirrels and unseen rainbows.

Went down to the city centre today with Daniel and Andrew and their friends and it was really pretty everwhere. The Christmas lights were shining and it was beautiful. Only carols were missing...

I think it would be even more beautiful, though, were I on a barren, deserted street without any "light pollution", in the stillness of the night, with a big beautiful star outshining the rest above a shabby-looking hut, listening to the cries of a newborn baby.

and i will never tire of knowing him
