St. Mary's

Most of us never leap.
We just stand there staring.
Looking at all of the
what if's
should have's
and maybe not's.

Drowning in them.

Staying complacent.
Standing still.


Today, I watched Laura look back.

We visited a tiny, little lily pad she spent some time on a few years ago. I got to see her remember where she went and who she was... before she leapt again.

A year from now... I hope I can do something similar. I hope I can take someone that I care about home to see where I came from.

To see my first lily pad.

The one I still haven't leapt from.

i gotta admit, it's a pretty cool experience to go back.

i don't think i'd even fully realized how far i'd come since i took that jump until i went back.
