Open your mind
Read between the lines of what you see
Look into the soul of reality
Signs of imminent change continue to appear in my house. There's a whole new load of boxes in the dining room, which I don't mind. Really. It's a temporary thing. I do mind the way my heart lurches when I see them. I don't know if it'd be profitable to walk through those feelings and think about the things that have been, the things that might've been, the ways I've failed, the things that might never be. It's not like the change is going to stop--the summer is going to come, so I'm going to walk into it with all that I can muster up: laughter, a couple of last drinks, a couple of tux rentals, investment until the last possible minute, joy for the joy of another, saving tears for a later and less public moment, prayer, lots of pictures and lots of miles on the car. These events and changes aren't about me, and I realize that, and I know it is easy to leave when you're movin' on up. So--toasts and good wishes and blessings. The Lord bless you and keep you. May his face shine upon you and be gracious to you. And may he give you his peace.
