a gorgeous day

so we sat in one of my favorite places
in the world and talked. caught up and
shared stories.

how can 28 years really have passed since
i'd seen him? and how is it i could still
see that teenage guy in him?

that's so cool.

i think i really like those yinyangy statements
like: life is long, life is short.
that seems so true to me.

and how about this one? everybody changes, nobody
really changes. that seemed so true today.

we have traveled far, seen a lot, and no way are
the same....and yet there was so much that was
the same....

i can't quite figure out how it all works.
and how it really is that i've grown up.

hard to wrap my mind around.

something that stayed the same that i really
value:
there was goodness between us.
there always was.

goodness between people.
i don't think i've ever put it that way in my
head or thought of it that way before.

but i did today.
and i really liked it.

it couldn't have been more gorgeous today....
weather-wise or friendship-wise.

driving home i thought of all the twists and turns
of life....
there is just no way to figure it out, is there?

sometimes i really like that....
