week 9

unquenchable, bottomless thirst, save for this.

i am full when:
i see the backs of your eyes
i dream of the world i am heading into
i remember the world i am coming from
i sit easy in my breathing
i let myself fall along the wave
you smile
you laugh
you love
you dream

i am so excited for you and your world, your people, your friends and family. the places you'll go, and all that you will do. i am so excited to see you, to hear about you, to think of you and the lights and cars and trees and bars and faces and classes and everything else that gets to be filtered through the beautiful you. you make the universe the perfect dream, and i am in gratitude for a glimpse of the picture, the sound, the feel. i am thankful for you in a way that i cannot put into words, and dread the thought of not having you here, but know that where you are headed you are headed because it is all part of the amazing spectacular, and because of that laugh and smile like i will for the rest of my days because you are...

6 days is everything.
6 days is a drop in the bucket.
be with everyone now, all of them.
fall in love with you, the you that is all of the people around you, all of the things, every second, sunrise, breath, star, tree, all of it.

don't hold tight,
drink deep.

when it is done, remember...
this is where you begin.
