It's funny the things that sometimes stick with you, and the things that resurface after a few years of being out of your mind.
In two weeks, I will (hopefully) make my trek back to Sewanee to re-ground myself on my glorious mountaintop. I'll sit in the audience of Guerry Auditorium and watch a mostly new cast of dancers perform in Perpetual Motion, something that was such a large part of my life for four long years. It's surreal every year I've done it. Last year, I bawled my eyes out with two good friends as we said thank you, and goodbye the remarkable woman who created something that brought so many wonderful family members and friends together. She and her husband moved on to another college and it was an emotional night for us to say goodbye to her.
This is one of the most remarkable performances that I ever witnessed. So, I am sharing it with you. :)
Secondly, I randomly started thinking about a pen pal and a friend that I spent almost four years of my life communicating with, only to stop. I can't remember the reason for our ending what I considered to be a glorious friendship, other than the stresses of moving on to college (or "university" as she called it.) She was a great friend and recently I've begun to miss her. I've missed hearing about her exotic life in Vienna and all the differences that I would have never thought existed in our cultures. Today, I decided to spend a little time looking online to see if, by some small chance, I could find her.....and I did. After about five minutes. She has a blog which I've just begun to read and I'm fascinated by her life.
Since apparently I'm going to be using a lot of song lyrics/book passages in this blog, here is a the song that inspired the title of this entry. It's significance did not hit me until, ironically, I turned 24.
