“I drove home in the perfect mindset. Heat lightning to the east, the moon bright above, every song from my stereo seemed just right. I had a million fleeting thoughts, all crowded with wishes and wisdom. Yet it didn’t matter that I wasn’t writing them down. They were filling my heart in the moment, and that was enough. Then suddenly, a meteor flashed bright green in front of me, leaving an ion trail in the hazy night sky. I was alive, and here was the world.” ~Journal, August 1992
