a comparatively shallow post, i suppose--time for a random list. this is the most random thing i've done in months, which i'm sure can't be a good thing. so here it is--a short list of instant gratifications...true for me, anyway.
making eye contact, followed by a smile and 'goodmorning' from a complete stranger
hearing someone say how much they appreciate you, when you've done nothing but be yourself
being called 'friend', 'muchacha', or 'yaar' in earnest, and without second thought
sitting with someone you could be talking to, but being comfortable enough and knowing the person so well that nothing actually needs to be said
helping someone to understand, and watching them grow in that understanding
being on the 'inside' of an inside joke
having the opportunity to run to a friend's rescue
knowing you have friends who would run to your rescue, unconditionally
thank You for being who You are.
why can't i feel the sky?
