enJOY it

I have been mulling over this post since the beginning of the summer.  Trying to articulate it.  Trying to describe it.  Trying to title it.  Trying to figure out if I could type in this little box something so big.  And I sit here and type.  And delete.  And watch the cursor.  And all I can actually hear in my brain are The Fray lyrics. There are certain people you just keep coming back to.

And that is true. 

But there is more than that.  There is a certain person that you just want to fall into.  Completely.  The person that challenges you.  And learns from you. And cares for you.  The person that will not let you skip to number four on the Jose Gonzales CD because there is time and you have to be patient.  The person who makes you forget that you have a swollen mouth and stitches.  The person that understands why you would only want a whole wheat crepe.  The person that knows how beer is made and bridges are built.  The person who tries to "cliff-notes" their stories but fails miserably. 

It is the person who will catch you when you are ready to stop falling.

I do not think that I thought that I could find what I found this summer.  Am still not sure of exactly what I found.  But it is simultaneously the most exciting thing and the most calming thing in the entire world.  And I have a lot of faith.  Faith in myself.  Faith in Paul.  Faith in synergy.  Faith in honesty.  Faith in distance and experience and growth.  Which ultimately comes down to faith in God.

Because life is good.  And time we have.  And I am blessed.  So very blessed.

Are you smiling, baby?  Good.
