Pixie Midnight




Tonight I broke down and did something I've been considering and rejecting for a month now: I bought a baby rabbit (or as my students would say, a "labbit"). Her name is Pixie Midnight (Pixie for short) and she is just about the cutest rabbit in all of Asia. She's quite friendly, too. I figure I can just give her to another teacher when I leave in nine months, and in the meantime, I have something cute and furry to help me miss my dog less.

"Passage—immediate passage! the blood burns in my veins! Away, O soul! hoist instantly the anchor!
Cut the hawsers—haul out—shake out every sail!
Have we not stood here like trees in the ground long enough?
Have we not grovell’d here long enough, eating and drinking like mere brutes?
Have we not darken’d and dazed ourselves with books long enough?

Sail forth! steer for the deep waters only!
Reckless, O soul, exploring, I with thee, and thou with me;
For we are bound where mariner has not yet dared to go, And we will risk the ship, ourselves and all.

O my brave soul!
O farther, farther sail!
O daring joy, but safe! Are they not all the seas of God?
O farther, farther, farther sail!"

~Walt Whitman, "Passage to India"
