It's been raining for the past few days here in Denton. It's been lovely of course. I cant wait to see the color of green everything will be once the rain passes and the sun comes out. I rode my bicycle to class this morning. It wasn't raining at that point. Once I got out of class though it was pouring. I rode home, listening to the perfect music, dodging the mass of cars (since everyone drove because of the rain.), loving my position in this day.
It was rejuvenating.

"Freedom is perhaps the most resonant, deeply held American value... Yet freedom turns out to mean being left alone by others, not having other peoples' values, ideas or styles of life forced upon one. But if the entire world is made up of individuals, each endowed with the right to be free of other's demands, it becomes hard to forge bonds of attachment to, or cooperation with other people, since such bonds would imply obligations that necessarily impinge on one's freedom." - Robert Bellah
(The progress of individualism, it turns out, shades easily into fragmentation.)
