“I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.”

-Mother Teresa

Today I feel that I have learned so much. I have found that you can lose everything and still have what you love dearest. I have learned that even with everything is here, when the world is right outside your window you can still ache when you lose that which once held you up. The biggest thing I've learned today though is that- i might rain, it might suck, but on a pretty day, you come outside and breathe and you listen and you grow. You are always growing. Even today's poem follows this pattern. It is titled "be seeing you". It talks about two people in a concentration camp who know they have lost everything they still grow. They still fall more in love- whether he is discussing his family, daughter, or maybe the woman of his dreams. We need to feel the burn, the stab, the churning- it's the only way we can know that it is real the next time around.

Today was once again a little more calm. I ate lunch at a new "irish" pub colonial themed place. The burger hit the spot. Around 4 I went to Union Square to people watch- shop- whatnot. (Sidenote: tequila makes her clothes fall off came on pandora--- some things are just way too true.) They had a wonderful farmers market. I participated in a few wine tasting and purchased this wine made of apples and peaches. VERY TASTY. I also made my way to Washington Square park where I heard a jazz band.

I also met a large, black woman who had her studio/home burn down a few weeks ago. As optimistic as can be- she insisted on singing Celine Dion to me in the middle of the city. It was lovely, and just left me smiling. No fear, this woman is such an inspiration to me.

Overall- I've discovered to cherish those close to me. Show them the best I can that they are everything to me. Sing to them- show them that I am still here. That I am still alive.Also- very excited to spend the fourth of july in texas- I'm on a country music kick!
