perspective

well hello again.

it's been awhile

it's always been awhile

awhile since i drove away

awhile since i came

awhile since i said goodbye

and just awhile since i began to say hello

awhile since i packed up my bags

awhile since i unpacked and carefully placed things in their place. intentionally trying to rebuild my home on four white walls

my pictures, my paintings, your face, their smiles, here.

i sit with my back to the wall and remember where i am

awhile ago i was there

but now i am here

wondering what will happen in a little while.

Mr. Browning tells me the best is yet to come. i think he is wrong. i think the best is the culmination of past, present, and future. the best will be and is.

it really is all about perspective.
