Out of Office

I will be out of the office until further notice. Perhaps Sunday, perhaps Monday, perhaps later. Perhaps I will be so overjoyed at my homecoming I will forget about my computer completely. That would be ideal, but I doubt it will happen.

Well, until I return (did you catch the double meaning!!?), I leave you, readers, with some beautiful words that I had the pure joy to sing with my friend who wrote them while we were here. She is an absolute genius with words and music, and I think she really perfectly captures the things I wish I could say I about how I feel about home. It's better with music, but for now, just enjoy the thoughts.


Yes, oh, yes, I miss my friends, miss them more than I can say
Trying hard to handle the baptism of time I’m going through
But sunlight through leaves and eyelids
Start to show movies against my will
And I don’t have a reason or a reason to be sad
And you know I know that it’ll all be ok, but honestly
There is there and here is here and I’m so tired.

Troublesome my eyes are troublesome my feet are.
That oversimplifies something I don’t want to talk about
When all I have room for is being with you again
My past and my future sit combined in comfort
They know that a shift from good to good is good and only
Change that makes me cringe until the new sets in

I can wait, I really can, I wish I could wait more patiently
The sorrow at the richness I miss and almost worship kills me
Can you feel my heart beating in your chest?
I wonder about time and its passing.
Do you feel that we’re here but also there like I do
Even the clouds had eyes to see us then
