i am here

It has been a while, because I have been moving to a new city.

I am here now, feeling new ground beneath my feet, learning to be alone sometimes in a huge house; although I will be living with 5 people when everyone gets moved in, they are only here periodically for now. I feel a little like a five-year-old walking around the house in my dad's work shoes, scooting and tripping. Meanwhile, strange, surprising, unexpected things are unfolding... not the things I need, like a perfect job and a reasonable amount of money, but the things I had decided to hide from. Music and love and stuff-- the kind of things that make a person ache.

here in this city I call my home"
