i’m doing volunteer transcription for the smithsonian archives (anyone can do it here!!) and im working on Olive Rush diary fragments and when she said
I am a gatherer of sticks and rubbish. And of course they do not do anything towards building the beautiful character that I would like - Oh no! they do the opposite. They fill in where there should be the strong and firm foundation of my grand ideal character. For it is right now that I am building the foundation of my character - one of the most important parts of the building. And a character built upon such a foundation as this would be weak indeed - not able to withstand the storms of coming years - Better things are for me - will I accept them? or will I let the angel depart?
i felt that.
