Better to sit at the waters' birth, than a sea of waves to win; To live in the love that floweth forth, Than the love that cometh in. Be thy heart a well of love, my child, Flowing, and free, and sure; For a cistern of love, though undefiled, keeps not the spirit pure.
Aveline looks like the Perfect Ballerina! Tell her that I think that Jesus put an extra heart in all ballerinas: That’s what makes us such great dancers!!
so precious. reminds me of my first day of ballet class in first grade. i was so excited to go, but when i went to change in the bathroom into the leotard i had been caressing and gazing upon all day in my backpack, i dropped it in the toilet. my grandma made me wear my jeans. it’s was traumatically disappointing. i’m sure aveline’s on a better streak already.
Oh Roxie! That sounds disappointing. Now Aveline likes to wear a really fancy performance tutu to her classes, it’s hot pink with silver sequins and white trim. I can only imagine how she would feel if it were to have dropped it in the toilet on her first day!! Salina, Aveline loves what you wrote!
