Hope you don’t mind me posting this, but it’s a poem I wrote a few years ago that you just made me think of again:

remember this moment
the one that makes you stop on the stairs outside your one-room apartment
and turn to let your vision rest on the hotel-california sunset,
layered
rust orange red brown
the beginnings of teal-gray
hurrying to cross the pacific,
to turn its glow on that girl in hawaii you had a crush on once

remember, later, when your ankles are swollen and tight
and you’ve got eighteen dollars in the bank
that a moment can be nothing or it can be everything

remember how it felt to stride to the laundry room,
unable to suppress your own reasonless smile
how it seemed to fill your arms and chest and stomach and pelvis and legs,
like a macy’s inflatable.
remember that moment when duty turned to consciousness
spilling on the iceplant, rolling down the embankment,
covering the highway like warm honey
and muting the noisome steadiness of traffic spending itself into the night

we’re born with too much to do.
too many moments die unremarked.
so remember.
write it down or don’t, relive it or move on to the next one,
but
don’t forget.

Thanks for such a beautiful post. My birthday is this weekend and my dad reminded me that at 32, maybe I’m as powerful as two 16-year-old me’s…that chick kicked ass.

Life just sucks sometimes…

Well, the way I figure it is that if you have a bunch of bad things happen to you all at once–something really great is just around the corner. Just recently, I had a $700 car bill, almost quit my job and had a good friend stop talking to me..The next day I was accepted into grad school. See?
