adventures

Since the new year, I have experienced quite a few adventures with some new and very good friends.

Here is the proof:


^a feast with David and Sam


^my Nephew! (5 months old)


^Scrabble with Natalie and Christopher


^Salvation Mountain


^Leonard built Salvation Mountain to share Universal LOVE. He is 76 years old this year.


^Friends from City Cru and Leonard on January 2, 2011


^me and Amy near the Bixby Canyon Bridge.


^Kyle and Robert (okay, it was a photo-op)


^Ben, Amy, Kyle and Rob and I went on hikes in Big Sur a few days before school began.

walking

a hollow structure: a graduation.

you walk. there is applause. you walk.

but the walking does not stop there. you walk to job interviews in the months following. you walk back to the admissions office to get your transcripts sent to the 6 graduate schools you are applying for. you walk through new neighborhoods and old neighborhoods. you walk to the dentist appointment that is one year too late. you walk to the cheese boutique that you cannot help but wonder how it stays in business. you walk to your first, adult relationship. and you probably walk away from two or three more after that.

i don't have my diploma yet. yet, i am tired.

i don't want applause, or a hollow structure defining my way.

the lens, my walk, my dear, be clearer than the last.

i just want back in your head

I am back at my home in SF.

my roommates and I changed the living room. it looks rad.

the flight was lame.

my head hurts from thinking so much.

I spoke with my beautiful sister tonight. and we talked about so many good things.

I have not been able to stop thinking.

it's weird.

I am excited and terrified for my last semester to begin.
