It's official, home finally feels right. In the span of a month, I've mended moldy broken bridges, built spanking new ones, found old lost loves and discovered exciting shiny interests. It hasn't been all fun and games but I don't think I have any right to ask for more. Am living the best I can (:

"I shall tell you what I dreamed last night," [the Khan] says to Marco. "In the midst of a flat and yellow land, dotted with meteorites and erratic boulders, I saw from the distance the spires of a city rise, slender pinnacles, made in such a way that the moon in her journey can rest now on one, now on another, or sway from the cables of the cranes."
