Bonne nuit, lune
It's all about perspective after all. Today should have been the day from hell, but because I could not and would not let myself play the pity card in my own paradigm of solitaire, it turned that I was in fact, dealt a winning hand. I just couldn't foresee it in my shortsightedness. I'll keep this uncharactistically succinct tonight, in that I can't will myself to write on indefinitely. I just got back from a nice walk around campus with Aaron, and I didn't realize how much there was I still haven't seen of this vast school. Although we never did find the elusive practice rooms. Just as well I suppose, as it's been so long since I've approached a piano it might recoil in fear, and I don't know if my own ears or the ears of unknowing passer-byers would be very appreciative.
But beyond that, I should make note that someone important in Kelley's life passed away recently, and for that I am truly sorry, and will send out a prayer for her family in hope that this hardship will be short-lived and bearable. It's a reminder of how the dimension of time is fleeting, even if we are able to burrow our own niches and find comfort in it awhile, it's hardly static. So to all who are or were a part of my life, and to whom I am a part of yours, I thank you and wish you all well.
I am suddenly reminded of my favorite childhood book, Goodnight Moon, in which every night before bed a little girl recites sweet blessings of slumbar for the expectation of tomorrow and the days to come. Tonight I feel inspired to reminisce a bit and say my own version that I used to everynight, but haven't in what seems like ages. And so I whisper quietly so that no one overhears, "goodnight stars, goodnight air, goodnight dear friends and family everywhere. "
