-^-for posterity-^-

i’ve jumped for joy and ran in circles enough times in my life.  i’m tired and happy.  i sit in a tiny blue chair with just enough cushion and grin.  i grin like a thoughtless dog.
 
today was spent with a friend that makes me smile and blush.  we drove around and went shopping for food in a giant store with aisles and rows of boxes and cans waiting for some hapless person to slide them off of the shelf and into their metal cart. 
 
i am used to my american life again.  things move all too quickly and it annoys me.
 
last weekend was incredible.  i went out to a camp ground beside a giant pond where we i spent the day jumping and splashing with friends like children.  we paddled around the pond on boats and swam and giggled.  they were all happy to be there and many stories were told and many more went untold.  sometimes it’s just better not to say anything to someone you haven’t seen in a while.  sometimes it’s just better to sit there and talk about the grass or the water.
 
the memories of college days came pouring back and we talked about simple things but secretly recounted stories in our heads to ourselves. 
 
i went out to indianapolis to see my family and very important friends.  i will leave that to another day. 
 
you see, i have precious little time to spend with people i care about and choose not to waste it.  i look out on the world with the eyes of a child.  something about the ways in which the clouds move across the sky makes me bubble inside.
