If you are a pretender, come sit by my fire
For we have some flax golden tales to spin. - Shel Silverstein

I got off that boat with nothing but my dancer's belt and a tube of chapstick!

Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes.  ~Henry David Thoreau

present

When I meet you, in that moment, I'm no longer a part of your future. I start quickly becoming part of your past. But in that instant, I get to share your present. And you, you get to share mine. And that is the greatest present of all...

 This isn't my first time here. This isn't my last time here. These aren't the last words I'll share.

"Old Eyes" Sarah Kay
