– the gorgeous happening of life.

Wake Up
7-26-12
That song, it was there when we all stood together, side by side, hugging each other, gripping hands, soaking it all in without conviction or anticipation; we beamed, elated, screaming into the night, spreading into our rebirth, watching our mistakes up and flutter away; singing because we had no other choice but to sing—
