The Living.....
What a week this has been...
I learned on Tuesday than an ex-friend/student at the college that employs me recently tested positive for HIV...
On Wednesday I learned that a student at the college that I had numerous interactions with committed suicide in her room on campus. She was a writer...poet...a gentle spirit...but apparently (as many people are now learning) deeply troubled.
Just as I am completely recovered from the flu I now feel spiritually fatigued from the bad news...
Yet in the midst of the tragedy I feel a renewed spirit for living...
I will FINALLY be home this weekend to see my mother (who I havent seen in over six months)...
I will FINALLY get to pound the pavement in the city and be fly...
And it feels good!
I haven't always believed it...but life is a wonderful option to choose...
CHOOSE IT!
I'll see you all on Tuesday.
PeaceLoveandEternity
