Science (non) Fiction

I’m back!
Thought I’d share this great quote from the Scottish poet Robert Burns - it was quoted in a book I’ve been reading (thanks Becky!) and I found it quite inspirational, considering some of the stuff I’ve been thinking about in my personal life!

Thou know’st that Thou hast formed me
With passions wild and strong;
And list’ning to their witching voice
Has often led me wrong.

Where with intention I have err’d,
No other plea I have,
But, Thou art good; and Goodness still
Delighteth to forgive.

I found it amazing that this man, writing so many years ago and so far away, could understand and express some of the same feelings I’ve had in my heart so many times in the last few years, when I can barely even express those same feelings to myself! But his assurance (or rather, God’s assurance) at the end is what I need to remember - as hard as that can be sometimes!

I’m off to finish up my lab work - with the holiday yesterday and a lab picnic today, I can tell this is not going to be the most productive week ever!
