Remember when being apart Only reminded us of being together And how there was something beautiful about that? When the softest spoken words took time Months, and energy, but built themselves together Making, as they do, a stronger love Did you ever feel infinite? I remember I did, on one occasion When you slept for […]

What happened to 2009?  I felt like my year was split radically in two parts.  Sometime around the end of May a lot of things in my life started changing dramatically.  I feel like, in both halves of last year, I was riding a wave I enjoyed and am grateful to have been on- even […]

One of my best friends, Nate, is a wise man indeed.  This is stolen from his blog: “If I could tell you two things to encourage you today, they would be: 1. Keep on loving. 2. Breathe: you’re going to be ok.”

I had coffee with a friend today.  I realized, as he walked in, that we’d made somewhat of a silent commitment to see each other once a week, and we’ve held to it, successfully, and religiously, for about 14 days now.  Sometimes it’s hard for me to be around him.  My ego hates his wisdom, […]

500 Days of Summer

I figured, since I’d alluded to writing reviews on my blog, that I would start by sharing my thoughts on Marc Webb’s “500 Days of Summer.” This film is very beautiful in a lot of ways.  I’ll warn you, it’s a bit of an emotional rollercoast, at least it was for me.  The relationship between […]

There are very few things in this life that can move me to such extreme emotion that I am either left, almost literally, breathless, or in tears.  Thinking tonight about the people closest to my heart, I am that kind of moved to find myself so lucky.  I worry too much, I worry about life, […]
