and such a longing, and aching for the past to be the present. only for a moment, did i see it all, with a crystalline clarity. the notion that so few of us can locate and hold onto a true solace. a true happiness with the ability to extend it beyond the confines of time and space.
and there it all was, right in front of me.
i relished the completeness of it all, the sheer normalcy of it all, and without barely an effort.
the moment peaked and passed. i exhaled and left through the sliding automatic doors.
tonight's homework:
be your own valentine to yourself.
