The windows are open. The doors are open. A really refreshing wind is rushing in. Life feels good right now. I feel like I'm becoming more myself everyday. Lightness.
This new year has been full, I've been moving forward with new eyes to familiar and new places, and with lots of good company. In no particular order and not everything really - the everyday, the happiness, the unusual -
- laughed with Elise over some yummy kim chi tofu soup
- danced with Tara till dawn at Deep
- ran 18 miles with my SRLA team woo woo
- ordered the best siete mares soup ever, the sea spilled from the edges of the bowl
- a student comes to me and says, I think I'm in love Ms., I just had to tell someone
- new running shoes
- met Elizabeth Gilbert and she says, "Just take the line for a walk across the page."
- so I let the lines start coming. they come in the morning when I wake up, on the road, and I type the beginnings of poems in my new lavender blackberry.
- my students' "This I Believe" essays
- roller derby with isa-POW!
- small steps after many years of not moving
This is the year, my new best friend is change.
