11/10/2008 recap

So Monday I finally got a link to all 943 photos taken with the band camera during tour this past summer...






















there are way more on my flickr...


It's difficult to belive that tour ended three months ago. As ready as I was to return home after three weeks, I miss it. A lot. It was a different time and a different place in my life, a really really good one, and I wish I could savor it more now. I'm in a good place now, as well, but it's different. On tour I had a backpack and a sleeping bag, four friends, two being my closest, and a different city to explore almost every night. and the sweetest bit? confidence in my home, my friends, and a boy back in baltimore for whom I was head over heels. summer was basic and simple and absolutely satiated. i had fluidity then; now i have perpetual motion. alas alas, things must come to an end sometime, and i have confidences in other things--not alternatives, just other things. suffered the casualties but the army of support proves i will never need to go to war with myself on my ability to reason. beginning on 5 january i will once again live out of a backpack, in a cloud forest, in costa rica, away from cars and cement and industry. i want simple and satiated, and i believe it will come soon enough.

this semester is a mixture of smiles and sickness (not illness).

the chickens always come home to roost.

i felt a new hollowness after reading the postcard. i guess i don't miss it anymore. i guess i'm finally on the level on which i needed to be months ago. it's just a coincidence, one that made me smirk and shake my head nonetheless, but i swear...
