The colors of our world change as a reflection of our hearts
An evolving process that brings tears for some
And laughter for others.
Let us never forget to say thank you
To the crimson figures of our past.
And breathe deeply as we welcome the
Golden dancers belonging in our future.
There may be a face or two
That carries with it
that familiar feeling of comfort
But with a new song to sing.
Not a strange one
Just different.

How often we speak with sharpened tongues
Against what we cannot control.
Our beastly desires infringe upon the mind
Leaving the heart behind.
To be consumed by our loving nature
Could only be so liberating.
Oh, if only we knew!
In the hands of the master
Our hearts were designed with endless shades of vibrant,
breath-taking hues.
With no assignments given
The transformations persist
With the changing of this earth.

bailey says I should blog more...consider this an effort :)

oh, I do actually have something to blog about!  So today, I didn't have to work.  It was great.  I went to the mall, spent money I don' have, put a basket on my new bike, and biked around the como area for a few hours.  It started to sprinkle, so I thought I should grab some groceries before heading home.  Bad idea.  I got out of the grocery store and it was POURING.  I thought I might be able to tough it out, but there was no way.  My roommates are both out of town, and I had no idea what to do.  So I called my friend Emily who leaves somewhat nearby.  She wasn't busy, so she drove to Rainbow and picked me up, haha.  It was quiet the adventure.  We had to figure out how to fit the bike and the groceries all in her little toyota camry.  Haha, but we did it!  Thank goodness Emily works at a bike shop, haha.

oh boy...good times.

wow...brittany leaves next week...

Wow.  I'm back.  For this first time since that last day in May almost a year ago.  Nothing has changed.  It's like I never left.  I'm like a dried up sponge, I just want to keep soaking it all up.  I'm not even looking at what I'm typing right now because I can't peel my eyes off the train window.  Part of me wishes I wasn't alone right now because I want someone to share this with and understand what I'm feeling.  Yet at the same time, it's nice to have it all to myself - more time to soak.  All those memories & emotions - I'm here, right where they began.  Where they grew.  Where they changed me.  I never want to leave.
