Rainy Thursday

"If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you."
I went on a long walk today along the streets of Minneapolis. And as I walked I came to what I believed to be the end of things, and I was silent, and I sat there, looking out over the world, just wishing it wouldn't stop. The past couple weeks have been really tough, but the world hasn't stopped. If the world hasn't stopped over this experience, then it won't ever stop.
A feeling of insignificance has come over me because the world just keeps going. My world may have stopped in some regard because of what has been going on with me, but the world around me is full of life. I know my heart will be full of life again one day too. I just wish that one day were today.
Here's to holding my breath for that one day to be tomorrow...
