Antonia's Gaze: Australia
http://antoniasgaze.blogspot.com/2011/07/australia.html
Wednesday, July 6, 2011. I began this blog with a goal of writing about my experiences with love, nature, and life. Well, I have some updates to share on each front. First things first - drum roll please - I am moving to Brisbane, Australia in September! It's been a bit of a harrowing exercise in decision making for so, so, so many reasons (which I will share below) but I feel really good about this decision. For those who need to get up to speed, a bit of history on this decision:. Before long we had me...

Antonia's Gaze: Yuanfen

Tuesday, November 22, 2011. 8220; Top 10 Relationship Words that Cannot be Translated to English. All the same, deserving the same reverence. I want answers. In a flash of inspiration, I remove the check from the box and keep it as I delete my other junk mail. In this description, counter to popular conception, fate and destiny are distinct things, which makes for an interesting exploration of love between the fated versus that of the destined. I wonder at yuanfen some more. Antonia Goes Down Undah.

Antonia's Gaze: Antonia Goes Down Undah
http://antoniasgaze.blogspot.com/2011/11/antonias-gone-down-undah.html
Monday, November 7, 2011. Antonia Goes Down Undah. But now that the preparing is over, I'm left with just the missing and being out of the country, which has freed up a bit of my time for writing. It's unclear where I should begin. Should I start with my trip to Nicaragua? Okay then. Nicaragua it is. Who helped us hook up with a family, buy materials, and construct a new and improved home!

Antonia's Gaze: The Essence
http://antoniasgaze.blogspot.com/2011/12/manito-wish-essence.html
Monday, December 5, 2011. This had to be shared. Whoever put this together did a great job! I wish they had more video from the long and remote trips Manito-wish offers, but this really captures a good portion of why people love this place and keep coming back. The girls on that trip became some of the people who I most related to in the world. We planned to do a Staff Instructor's Course (S.I.C.) in 2-years time. We went back to Manito-wish as staff and spent a summer passing forward...In the time that ...

Antonia's Gaze: April 2011
http://antoniasgaze.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 30, 2011. Ok, my previous entry was chock full of confidence, and well, I'm feeling a little more anxious now as I get ready to head up to Fort Collins for the night before the race. I keep reminding myself of all the hard things I have done before and how great I felt having completed them. I'm hoping this falls into that category because (as evidenced by my 19 miler) it could go horribly awry. And "Just have fun with it.". I'm obviously a little torn as to the best approach. 6 Really wa...

Antonia's Gaze: July 2011
http://antoniasgaze.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 27, 2011. The taste of your mouth and the color of your skin,. Skin, mouth, fruit of these swift days,. Tell me, were they always beside you. Through years and journeys and moons and suns. And earth and weeping and rain and joy. Or is it only now that. They come from your roots,. Only as water brings to the dry earth. Burgeonings that it did not know,. Or as to the lips of the forgotten jug. The taste of the earth rises in the water? I don't know, don't tell me, you don't know. And their ...

Antonia's Gaze: Christopher Hitchens
http://antoniasgaze.blogspot.com/2011/12/christopher-hitchens-on-religion-and.html
Friday, December 16, 2011. I just got back from a long run. A run where a lot of ideas bounced around in my head, many of which I hope to write about here. But darkness has fallen, my uterus is wrenching around inside of me unhappily, and I left most of my energy out on the footpaths of Brisbane. Full text from Vanity Fair below). There are numerous passages in holy scripture and religious tradition that for centuries made this kind of gloating into a mainstream belief. Long before it concerned me pa...

Antonia's Gaze: Extraction Distraction
http://antoniasgaze.blogspot.com/2011/11/its-441-am-tomorrow-most-of-my-readers.html
Thursday, November 10, 2011. It's 4:41 am, tomorrow,. For most of my readers. Yes, that's right. I'm coming to you from the future. And let me say one thing about being in the future, it can get a little lonely at times. Times like 4:41 am. I ran a 5k with R and his company yesterday. It was insane. There were so many people that you couldn't exactly run, but you could shuffle. So, I alternately shuffled and sprinted a 5k. I don't think I PR'd. 8212; Kristin Halvorsen. I thought about this as I ran this ...
