hello…so long…

  i feel there is much change on the horizon. within that -- there is always that struggle for control. i am trying to release that and just ride through it all. and perhaps because of or in light of this potential shift -- it has sparked an even greater need to create. next week i say "so long" to a dear friend...and although i know that distance doesn't have to change things -- it will be difficult not having her nearby to bounce off my ideas, thoughts, worries, questions and musings too. this friend was one of the very first i made upon my arrival -- from the beginning we shared many similarities and she has inspired me in many aspects of my life and the roles I hold within my life. she is one of those people in your life who make you feel like a better person -- who make you trust and believe that you can "top tall buildings in a single bound", who always "has your back".  i will miss having her nearby.
