lol. Well, without Jones the character wouldn’t have meant it. What do you think? Is denying all obligation and ownership loving?

It’s not a question of what Diana Wynne Jones meant (and by the way, Jones was her surname… Wynne was a second name) but what the character who said it meant. I think the context here makes it pretty plain that the “letting go” meant denying all obligation and ownership.

I lived in Finland, so I think I know what you mean. Especially in the winter, the stars/moon on snow is ‘light’ in a way that is hard to explain to someone who has never seen it. Salmon Arm is a pretty great place to retire to, though as a teacher in a district with declining enrolment, I’d encourage to bring some grandchildren with you! lol

I live in Whitehorse, Yukon. I love the quality of the light here. We are thinking of retiring to Salmon Arm in a year or two, actually.

The world held your hands July 22, 2011. I remember being so shocked because it just didn’t seem to fit the national character at all! I have met a few Norwegians, hosting them here in Canada. I have been to Finland, Sweden, and Denmark. I think we need to visit Norway and Iceland, so we have seen all of Scandinavia. Norway looks very beautiful.

What’s wonderful about Lebanon is that you can experience different seasons here at once. Feel like swimming? The beaches are almost always open and warm. Or do you fancy skiing? The mountain tops here are almost always covered with snow. =]

I also like that it’s called the Paris of the Middle East, haha.

What I love about living in Norway is that sins we are a smal country we are always standing up for our. Country and showing the world a great time, when eyes are directed to us. From Eurovision song contest finals, sporting avents and so on.
And how we all held hands and helped Each other after July 22.

That’s super, Cooper!
Help spread the word. I’d love to see some short, fascinating articles by science majors, for example.
