So here we are in 2010

One might protest that you can’t force two opposite things to mix… not so! Sometimes, the most opposite and un-combinable of things become the most wonderful! For example, oil and vinegar – put them together in a bottle and they won’t combine together for anything unless you continuously and vigorously shake them up. And yet, these two simple, yet irreconcilable substances become one of the most perfect salad dressings you can hope to find!

Another example, the letter ‘A’ is on the extreme opposite end of the alphabet from the letter ‘Z’.  ‘A’ has it’s own characteristics and unique traits that ‘Z’ will never, ever possess (and vice versa) unless it becomes another letter altogether. Under the tragic instance that ‘A’ or ‘Z’ should become another letter they might be drawn closer together in the alphabet, but language as we know it would cease to exist and we’d end up in a very dismal place… Yet, from a different perspective, these two opposite letters are actually closer to each other than they ever could wish to be! Simply wrap the alphabet around and they align side by side.

Perhaps you can tell I haven’t had much sleep this week :) Or perhaps it’s a bit overwhelming for me to return to our blog and realize that since last February such an exorbitant amount of life has taken place that I have no idea how to jump back in! So, I’m not going to try just now, suffice to say that A&Z are back on the blog and life has brought us further along and closer together than ever.

Looking forward to continuing the journey with you!
