the month of goodbyes...

"I woke up from my sleep to the sound of that voice..."

There is gonna be a lot in this one...There is a lot going on...

Today has seemed long in comparison with the rest of the week. This makes me happy...

When there is too much to comprehend, we shut down, we fail, we freeze - until the springtime comes with its greener grass and bluer skies bringing us its warmth and brightness - and it is then that we begin to thaw...

Everything is deliberate...

It has been quite the month of goodbyes - three to be exact, but I have finally decided that it is not helpful to be sad about this. There is no need to say goodbye when a simple keep in touch will suffice.

I believe a trip to Nashville and then to Memphis is going to have to happen soon.

I am afraid that I will forget what you look like

My class presentation was traumatizing for a few different reasons. However, I think it was worth it because I received a lot of approving nods and an excellent grade is the most obvious outcome. Now if I could just finish that research proposal...

I am ready for Fall. I like Fall. Fall is looking promising...

Even at this point in the game, I still have constant realizations. I had a lot this weekend and I liked them.

I am too hard on myself.

I am paying my graduation fee tomorrow. I am excited about this, but I know that this really means that I can expect the inevitable restlessness to come in the near future.

I think I am more like you. I hate that we never got the chance to talk.

Life gets easier and easier the older I get, or at least more enjoyable.

For the first time probably ever, the 2 for $20 at Blockbuster did not fail me. This makes me pretty happy seeing as how my meager dvd collection was in need of some enhancing.

I had no idea I was so territorial over a parking spot, but boundaries are good and necessary.

There is an ungodly amount of mashed potatoes in my refrigerator and you would laugh if you looked in my freezer...

bloody hell

I have taken one step backward and two steps forward, but progress is progress. I am still confused and probably will be for a little while...

Is it possible to be connected but be detached at the same time? I am going to have to say yes.


I see its beauty and feel its power
to pull me deeper and make me cower
despite reservations, I'm swept under
although I'm hurting, I'm in awe and wonder

I know it needs me and it can hear me
to wrap around me and guide me clearly
in quiet calmness, I'm slowly revealed
although I'm hurting, I'm open and healed

I heed its caution and hear its warning
to keep me covered and start the morning
with perfect protection, I block the night
although I'm timid, I'm safe and alright


Wow, this was long, I am relaxed now...

Night,

E
