the gift

today was a beautiful day.

first day of a new job. a new career.
with smiling faces and new friends with gray hair.

first day of an intense day of graduate school.
with awesome professors and old friends.

a good, GOOD, phone call from my city bug, george.
filled with happiness & long-distance hugs to be shared.

beautifully written emails from my aunts,
along with beautiful emails from friends.
all with support and love.




things are where they should be.

i have found my calling. ive been waiting for this.

out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
i'll meet you there.
when the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about. ~rumi
