name is name

two beautiful names i have never considered before: Sylvia & Sophia

i have been reading a lot of Sylvia Plath lately; The Bell Jar, Unabridged Journals, Collection of Poems... i really enjoy the way she can describe such simple things, and still keep my attention-

my granny told us today that her grandma Sophia was ambidextrous... and how she would do her quilting with her right hand starting on the right side, then switch to the left hand, when it got to the left side, brilliant! i do wish i could have thought of this!
