my foot is asleep

are we in this, or are we just here?

let's stop: breathe, refocus, remember why we are here.
let's love one another.
let's love others.

there is so much fruit in the summer time. it's great, i love it. gimme some of them nectarines!
sometimes, though, i don't feel as though i am actually in summer. maybe i'm stuck in winter?

i'm missing out on the fruits -- patience, kindness, generosity, love, forgiveness.
i need these in my life.

soon, we will embark on a journey to tijuana- who would think that an arbitrary line on the ground could separate what seems to be two different worlds?
but we are not much different from one another -- that is important to remember

in addition: i welcome the return of close friends, of those whom i love, and am blessed to share life with.

in closing: i wish that my current experiences would stop reminding me of things past; i don't like wishing for something other than what i currently have at hand.

let's be in this, not just here.
