sunset

it is 8:17
the sun sets, and the sky looks amazing. Flecks of pinkish purple and beige and gold all flow into each other across a blue skyline. Multiple swirls of grey-toned clouds lean in against the sky, not unlike the swirls of chocolate fused in the slice of chocolate chip cake I just downed. This sky makes me want to be in a million places all at once. I want to be a bird on the tree just outside my window, glancing through the leaves that dance along with the breeze, inviting me for a waltz with the wind. The leaves reach out like hands, and offer solace and company to someone who at eight at night can’t do much more than write a blog about trees and chocolate cake.

I wanted this summer to be interesting, and I got what I asked for. I never knew that sitting back and wondering what the next step I’d take would be – could actually be so engaging. I’ve never been more involved in my life than I am now. And after a series of heartaches on my behalf, I wonder where things will go from here. However I know that things will only go where and when I tell them to. Am I afraid? Yes, very much so. Am I ready? As ready as I will ever be.

“The world, {govinda} is not imperfect or slowly evolving along a path to perfection. No, it is perfect at every moment; every sin already carries grace within it, all small children are potential old men, all sucklings have death within them, all dying people-eternal life. ” – From Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse.
