Check out the project I have been working on with Raora
With the participation of our younger brother and sister and some friends who came up for the weekend we've put out our first film production. Unfortunately the film quality is not very pristine, but our equipment is a little limited:) We're currently planning another video and working on picking up more people to cast - hey, if you want to star in your first movie, drop by and we'll cast you! :)

"Up through an empty house of stars, Being what heart you are, Up the inhuman steeps of space, As on a staircase go in grace, Carrying the firelight on your face, Beyond the loneliest star." G.K. Chesterton

This Week's Quote
"I have committed myself to joy...we must not be afraid to announce it to refugees, slum-dwellers, saddened prisoners, angry prophets. Now and then we must even announce it to ourselves. In this prison of now, in this cynical and sophisticated age, SOMEONE MUST BELIEVE IN JOY." -Richard Rohr
Poetry
THE GREAT MINIMUM by G.K. Chesterton
It is something to have wept as we have wept,
It is something to have done as we have done,
It is something to have watched when all men slept,
And seen the stars which never see the sun.
It is something to have smelt the mystic rose,
Although it break and leave the thorny rods,
It is something to have hungered once as those
Must hunger who have ate the bread of gods.
To have seen you and your unforgotten face,
Brave as a blast of trumpets for the fray,
Pure as white lilies in a watery space,
It were something, though you went from me today.
To have known the things that from the weak are furled,
Perilous ancient passions, strange and high;
It is something to be wiser than the world,
It is something to be older than the sky.
In a time of sceptic moths and cynic rusts,
And fattened lives that of their sweetness tire
In a world of flying loves and fading lusts,
It is something to be sure of a desire.
Lo, blessed are our ears for they have heard;
Yea, blessed are our eyes for they have seen:
Let the thunder break on man and beast and bird
And the lightning. It is something to have been.
It is something to have wept as we have wept,
It is something to have done as we have done,
It is something to have watched when all men slept,
And seen the stars which never see the sun.
It is something to have smelt the mystic rose,
Although it break and leave the thorny rods,
It is something to have hungered once as those
Must hunger who have ate the bread of gods.
To have seen you and your unforgotten face,
Brave as a blast of trumpets for the fray,
Pure as white lilies in a watery space,
It were something, though you went from me today.
To have known the things that from the weak are furled,
Perilous ancient passions, strange and high;
It is something to be wiser than the world,
It is something to be older than the sky.
In a time of sceptic moths and cynic rusts,
And fattened lives that of their sweetness tire
In a world of flying loves and fading lusts,
It is something to be sure of a desire.
Lo, blessed are our ears for they have heard;
Yea, blessed are our eyes for they have seen:
Let the thunder break on man and beast and bird
And the lightning. It is something to have been.

That's great! I'd love to be in one of your movies. It sounds fun:)

Great job... looks like fun... I FINALLY watched it! :D
Hello Strongjoy!
I really enjoy reading you and your sister's blogs... you write great book reviews. I am also a big Huge GINORMOUS C.S. Lewis and Tolkien fan, and love to read practically any classic. I'd LOVE to star in my first movie, preferably as Galadriel, Goldberry, or Jill Pole, but unfortunately I live way too far away for that. Boo-Hoo :(
Toodle Pip,
Anne Eisnevep
Hope you can post more often!!
Hallo Strongjoy!
I love reading you and your sister's blogs... I think we have alot in common- especially as far as books and writing goes- and I am also being Charlotte Mason homeschool-erised. Nicely done on the movie! Unforunately, since I live in Europe at present, I can't come and star in my first movie (preferably as Goldberry, Galadriel, or Jill Pole) :(
Keep up the good writing!
Aufwiedersehen,
Anne Eisnevep
Hey Anne!
Sorry it took me awhile to get back with you- I've been REALLY busy taking care of our goats. We got four baby doe-kids this week!
You live in EUROPE!!! Wow, you are so lucky! I love Europe, although I've only spent time in Wales and London. I've only been to Germany, France and Switzerland for layovers at the airport :) (I grew up in Turkey, so I've done a lot of traveling and I LOVE to travel overseas.)
I really appreciate your comments and I'm so glad you stopped by...
Seize The Day!

Strongjoy...
Oh! I am so embarressed! I posted
two comments on accident, because the first one I wrote I thought I lost! Oh dear! Well, I'm sure you understand, and hope you don't think I'm awful impatient or something like that. Oh, my face is burning!
Congratulations on your goats! I used to have sheep, but that was back in America. We had two for about six months or something like that.
It has been nice to chat with you...

Hello, Strongjoy! I have been commenting on your sister's blog for some time, so I thought that I would come on over and comment on yours. I is very interesting to read, so keep up the good work. :)
Sorry,I don't want to clutter up your inbox, but I just noticed that last part to your post. To bad you probably live across state from us. :)
