Shadow wanted, wanted very much, to reach out and put his hand over Wednesday's gray hand. He wanted to tell him that everything would be okay - something Shadow did not feel, but that he knew had to be said. There were men in black trains out there. There was a fat kid in a strectch limo and there were people in the television who did not mean them well.
He did not touch Wednesday. He did not say anything.
Later he wondered if he could have changed things, if that gesture would have done any good, if it could have averted any of the harm that was to come. He told himself it wouldn't. But still, afterward, he wished that, just for a moment on that slow flight home, he had touched Wednesday's hand.

Reflect.
I really liked cat class today. Much better compared to last week. Hahah. Maybe my complaints worked. We had a reflection followed by a sharing and it was really good.
I guess all this has been on my mind for quite a while but the sharing and voicing it out just made me realise it much more you know? I realised that I've really grown much closer to God than before. There has been quite a change since last year till now. I've been turning more to God now and I feel that he helps me. I don't feel it ALL the time, but the SOMEtimes help me to remember that he's always there.I have learnt to place my trust in God more, and even if Jessica doubts so I think cat class has played a part in this. I realise 2008 has been quite a year for me. probably the most impactful in all my 14 years. Most eventful. I think I've grown spiritually and that has always been my goal. It still is. I guess problems we encounter in life really do turn out to be blessings in disguise, because from turning to God and seeking his help, I've finally realised that he is the centre of my life. And I live and build around it. He is a pillar of strength in my life and I'm scared for next year, but I know when facing problems or anything, I can always trust in him, Christ the redeemer.
And the fact that all the girls were sharing today made me feel quite happy. Hahah. Jessica looked pretty happy too. So yeah, I enjoyed class today. We sorta had a praise and worship thing too. (:
Halloween yesterday. It was prettaye fun. We went trick or treating! We got candy and some weird looks. Even an, "OMG!". Then we headed to town to take pictures with random people and just spread the Halloween spirit! (: Gill and I went as ruggers. We didn't really look like ruggers, but oh well! Pictures next time. (:...
