of beauty and birthdays

Something beautiful happened in the library this morning: a student came into the I.T. department with a dozen pink tulips. She walked up to the I.T. help desk manager, said, “God told me that you were going through a lot today, so I brought you these,” and gave them to her.

The help desk manager’s sister underwent chemotherapy this morning.

The help desk manager had never seen the student before this.

._.-.

For my birthday this year, I want you to tell me a story or sing me a song! (This idea has been shamelessly stolen from Jason.)

About Halsted M. Bernard

Halsted, a/k/a cygnoir, does stuff with words. Her favourite things to do with words are keeping this diary, writing stories, and organising information. She lives in Edinburgh with her husband, two cats, a few gadgets, several fountain pens, and many books.

    What a lovely story! The universe is sometimes beautiful in its unknown-ness.

    I’ll have to think of something to send you. I wish you luck, though, only two people responded to mine. :p :)

    One vicious rendition of Black Swan coming up.
