I wish I had more time. More time to spend with friends and family, to re-discover the city I grew up in, to make bad decisions and to live out the rest of my early twenties as the ever forgetful, accident prone, and intrinsically lazy girl that I am. However, my time has come. Time to grow-up. So, as I go forth in faith and action, I am to remember how to use the brain that got me through college and the sense of wonder that has brought me constant joy these 24 years.
Now I go from Columbus to Phili. Bus to NY the next day, then NY to Frankfurt, Frankfurt to Baku.
Adieu!

I leave you with this little ditty I wrote when a friend was moving this past year:
You can beg a gypsy soul not to go, but the addiction to independence and thirst for new experiences it too strong. We will always go, even after we have been the ones left behind.
I so admire your strength and courage. What a wonderful adventure you are going to have! God be with you on your travels, JM. I will be thinking of you and praying for you daily. I love you,

JM,
ReplyDeleteThat was so beautiful. I read your words aloud to Grandma, and we were both left with tears of pride for you. We of course miss you so much, but know you are loved and protected by God as you go forward. Keep writing. Keep your beautiful sense of joy and wonderment.
We love you,
Aunt Krista and Grandma
