This morning G came in from taking out some recycling, and so sincerely and cheerfully relayed to me what she had been saying while completing the task: Fare Thee well, everyone.
Fare Thee well, everything.
Except for Satan
and his comrades
and his doings.
And then, just now, as we were talking before bedtime prayers, G tried to explain how she has been feeling the past few days (its been a rough week) and why she has been "bursting into tears"--she said she felt "all misshapen."
Eeriely reminiscent of C.S. Lewis's description of planet Earth and her inhabitants as "bent" (corrupted by sin) in his novel Out of the Silent Planet (first in his excellent science-fiction/fantasy "space" trilogy).
The truly weird thing is that we have not even been reading the Bible recently, so I have no clue from where she is getting all this interesting imagery. The way she puts things, though, is uniquely her.
