"Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life. Valuable, but small. And sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it, or because I haven’t been brave? So much of what I see reminds me of something I’ve read in a book, when shouldn’t it be the other way around? I don’t really want an answer. I just want to send this cosmic question out into the void. So, goodnight, dear void."
Headed into DC today with my dear friend Megan to the National Gallery of Art where we saw three exhibits: Dada (strange yet sort of interesting), Cezanne (an extremely crowded exhibit), and Frans van Mieris (delightful and stunning).

"The end then of learning is to repair the ruins of our first parents by regaining to know God aright, and out of that knowledge to love him, to imitate him, to be like him, as we may the nearest by possessing our souls of true virtue, which being united to the heavenly grace of faith makes up the highest perfection." JOHN MILTON, Of Education (1644)

I'm heading up to DC next month on a brief vacation...am really looking forward to wandering through the National Gallery of Art again. Love that place...
Also can't wait until the National Portrait Gallery reopens in July.
I love Teaism!
Wow, books and great art on a pretty day. I'm jealous, very jealous.
I like your blog and will visit again.
I love D.C. - the art galleries, the coffee/tea, the politics, etc. Its a shame I've only been once - but London is cool sometimes too. =)
