Love you, Amy

Dr Who is like Harry Potter, something you grow up with and share with your kids. Amelia Pond's tale: Well done.

(This tribute is lovely, thank you.) The spoiler alert is right: don't watch if you haven't seen the last Dr Who.
Our family has loved the Doctor since he was Tom Baker. We fell away from him awhile, coming back when Eccleston masterfully took the role. Love Stephen Moffat's scripts, adore the last two doctors. And love Amy.

Words whisper, carrying more than one might know, hypostases, rather than mere understanding. Words grow from roots, spawn families, travel and mingle, get lost, get found, and often marry the strangest bedfellows. Like our bodies, our ideas, and our culture, words evolve, handed down to us from a place beyond memory. As the warp and woof of language, words possess the magic to shape the immaterial into the solid things of psyche ~From my intro to AO's The Archives of the Heart

The Platonic tradition may be likened to an underground river that from time to time sends up a spring; wherever its waters flow, the soul is reborn, and with it the conception of intellectual form, the beautiful, and true art.~ Kathleen Raine
