hmm....
i come home in a week. strange. tear.
my time here has been amazing and im sad to see it end.
we had to fill out a silly questionnaire about our time here.. and one question asked how ive changed while here. my response? im a little softer around the edges, both literally and figuratively speaking. meaning that ive learned to slow down and enjoy the simpler things in life. this people here coined the phrase "hakuna matata" ive even seen it above a door in the albaicin. granadinos live in a world of no pasa nadas, and its been great being here. it's going to be hard to return to my life style at home... with work and school, and not a lot of down time. ive been on vacation for 4 months here, and i dont know if i really want to return to responsibility.
but whatever. all good things come to an end, to quote nelly furtado.
we had a farewell flamenco show last night with everyone in the group, and it was so sad to say our goodbyes.
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you:
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend:
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
