its 1:40am...and i can't sleep...but...I'm ok with that...
i'm looking at the world map posted on my bedroom door. why is it that when I look, sometimes gaze at this map, the hairs on my neck stand up? why does my heart start to pound? my stomach, flighty. why is it that I cannot simply glance at it whenever I walk by? i always want to have a good, long, look at it. and i want to put on my favorite song. and drink my favorite tea. everything seems so possible, so tangible and yet mysterious when i see it. the world is smaller and bigger all at once. sometimes I wish I could put it in my pocket, just to have it with me. or put it on my ceiling so its the last thing I see before I go to bed and the first thing I see when I wake up. i'm realizing that if I do this...I might never sleep or want to get out of bed. then where would I be?...
my heart would still be pounding, my gaze fixed, and my hair would still be standing on end...
its 1:40am...and i can't sleep...but...I'm ok with that...

- If you feel like listening...pull up a chair, wrap yourself in a blanket, put on your favorite song, pour yourself a cup of tea, and the miles between us will disappear.

i understand. i have a world map that i put over the couch in our old place and i would stand on the couch for hours just looking at it and running my fingers over it...captivated by all that it holds.
i know i'm starting to say it too often to have it really hold a lot of power, but its true so i'm gonna say it again...i love reading your thoughts here friend.
it has been two and a half weeks since this post. i don't know what to do. please write more soon.
