Katherine’s Mind

Excerpts from my notes app

Linger Long

Won’t you linger long with me
and hang on every word?
Won’t you let your coffee cool
and let me just be heard?

For sitting here with you
reminds me of the Faithful One
Who ready stays and listens to us,
constant as the sun.

In this way your presence
is a shade of Christ on Earth
where Heaven has touched down
and Love reminds us of our worth.

When sitting here with you
I likewise yearn to point you towards
the patient, steadfast ear of Him,
our present, selfless Lord

So I will linger long with you
and hang on every word
and I will let my coffee cool
So that you may be heard.

About Me

Thanks for stopping by! Chances are, I already know you, or we’re about to know each other really well. My name is Katherine Novakovich and, for better or for worse, you’re about to catch a glimpse of my mind. I’m a student at Northwestern University studying literature, education, history, and Classics, and trying my hardest to realize life while I live it–every, every minute.

These posts are primarily ramblings from my head that I had to write down before they drove me crazy, but I hope you find them as enrapturing as I have. Not everything posted here is perfectly polished, nor is it set in stone, but my thoughts aren’t either (and I think that’s okay!). I appreciate you taking the time to read parts of my inner monologue, and I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on my thoughts and opinions if you’d be willing. Let’s learn from each other!
