I found your blog when I was googling her advent writings over Christmas. I didn't want to buy another book and was hoping to find excerpts on the web. Thankfully you were posting her advent poems everyday. Thanks for helping me through advent this year. And here's a quote, one I'm sure you're quite familiar with, from Ring of Endless Delight. I thought of it often after my own father's death, and then again this fall after L'Engle passed away: “What I think is that if we’re still around after we die, it will become more like those moments when we let go, than the way we are most of the time. It’ll be--it’ll be the self beyond the self we know.” (A Ring of Endless Delight) I’m a big L’Engle fan as well. I found your blog when I was googling her advent writings over Christmas.

I relate to Vicky so much in it, even if my family doesn't look like hers. RoEL is my favorite of her books as well, and the one I’ve re-read more times than all the others combined probably.
