Dewey (eyed) Beauty Gets Lost in the Library…
I have a confession to make that may cause you to question my ethos as a thinker/writer/scholar:
Back to December all the time…
(don’t love this song, but am sad I didn’t mention DECEMber in the video AND I love Taylor’s whole look here…)
Anyways, libraries can be amazing, but even the great American transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson knew that they could be problematic:
“Meek young men grow up in libraries, believing it their duty to accept the views, which Cicero, which Locke, which Bacon, have given, forgetful that Cicero, Locke, and Bacon were only young men in libraries, when they wrote these books.”
~The American Scholar (this address is SO powerful. Read (about) it!
And to further illustrate (figuratively AND literally!) this idea of library limits,
allow me to borrow some palabras from my dear friend:
“They read all the books, but they CAN’T FIND THE ANSWERS!”
~7 time Grammy Winner (and thief of Kat’s heart) John Mayer
(and more than just part of Katherine’s [K]orazón…)
so BACK TO BIBLIOTECHAS (after that long but still fascinating tangent)!
Let’s ask ourselves what are the extremes/outliers to all the stuff available to us today..
Where is the wisdom in all this knowledge?

Eternal struggle between reading and writing…
(good problem to have…)
READERS!
What things do you like about the library? What things intimidate you?
And do you know how to use the DDS?
perdida in the periodicals….

A new friend, a compliment, and an answered question all in one blog post-TRIPLE WHAMMY!
This is Alan (he is very good looking and gave me permission to use his name, but asked to not have his picture included). He is a new friend who lives with his sister and brother-in-law here in Utah having recently moved from Long Beach, California. I don’t know him very well yet, but I can tell he is a good man who respects women, works hard, and is seeking truth. Alan is currently investigating the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I ain”t gonna hide the fact that I hope he joins, but whatever he decides, I am glad to have a new friend! Oh, and he sent me the following in an email. Totes made this girl’s day!
hey katherine it was really good meeting you yesterday. i didnt have time to read all of your blogs but i did get a chance to read the one about sex and the temple and ill say it did answer alot of my question. i didnt know it was that sacred. ill view more of your blogs when i have more time. you a very talented individual and i hope you succeed in your blogs. hope your day goes well.
Oh, and Alan’s sister is into eyelashes, too. Love this family already 🙂

My present to you for making it to the 400th post? RAP VIDEO!
No beatin’ around the bush on that title (figuratively OR literally)! I had my NEW friend Kemp and my OLD friend Carlos help me out. Check it stat (and please excuse my being a little dance happy. I’m not as smooth/subtle as my friends):
And if you think that was entertaining (probably mainly because Katherine was making a fool of herself), it actually wasn’t anything compared to what these guys can do for real. Here’s just a taste of their INSANE TALENT. And yes Mom, the following is improvised.
Here’s Carlos’s youtube channel.
Oh, and just had to include this one too:

You can ask me anything
because if I’m not comfortable talking about it, I will respectfully communicate that. But I do love not only to talk, but to converse. I want to know your story, too.
