One more week
I'm not sure if it's because I'm taking a big step in moving next week but I seem to be in a nostalgic mood lately. And I was fine looking back in fond memories of kite flying on campus or exploring the woods with my brother.
I also had a dream this morning.
I had a dream that it was winter and I was watching the neighbor kids snowboarding in the back yard. They asked me to join and, while I was reluctant at first, I stepped onto a snowboard and we all had a fun time sliding down the hill. It was cold, but my heart was warm with happiness at being able to act like a kid again.
I woke up still with the chill of the winter's snow inside me and as I watched my cat sleeping beside me, I had the faint words of song lyrics in my head:
"Looking towards the future
We were begging for the past
Well, we know we had the good things
But those never seemed to last
Oh, please just last"
