hung out with this tiny tot last night
at this point she had made a ketchup-milk soup
i was grossed out, she thought it was delicious
we laughed, quite a bit
for whatever reason it's the small ones that make this all feel worthwhile
i'm thankful for moments filled with their innocence
i want to take life in the way they do, with awestruck wonder
to laugh when i fall and get back up without a second thought
to run at each new thing, never wondering if i'll succeed or fail,
but just going for it with everything i have

updated my "current city" to Denver while listening to Josh Garrels' "Farther Along"
it seemed fitting.

i'm still at a loss. memories of the last 5 months weave their way in and out of my thoughts. i'm waiting for it all to make just a bit more sense. i've been left with a deep ache and nothing to soothe it. but i am convinced that this is not without purpose. and i have hope that He sees and knows.

breakfast for and with a few of my most favorite persons

try it again, breathing's just a rhythm

i feel ill with longing
my body aches for wholeness
my heart, to be undivided

i am set betwixt two realities
each unlike the other
my mind grows weak with each swing of the pendulum
my soul hopes for a time or space
where the pieces of my heart that have been strewn across oceans
will come together again.
i need it soon.
