OK, no more posts of my e-mails with Caleb. I just reaped so much delight in our exchanges and wanted to share some of them with you. That said, he has written many other gorgeous messages and poems; I keep the loveliest and most profound ones (and my replies) to myself. You'll just have to read him when he gets published!
Back to real life. Well, however close you can get to it via this blogged realm.
I'm doing generally well. There are people I miss a lot. Things suspended in time and air, waiting to be launched or waiting to drop. But I'm giving myself time, which is a more forgiving thing to do.
I'm also very sad because my sister has announced a two-year posting to Zimbabwe. Yet, it also has struck a light-bulb moment for me. A trip. A destination. Finally! So, this fall I hope to go to Zimbabwe and South Africa to see how life differs from mine here, having only known one reality. I am also planning on hitting someplace in Europe, since you usually fly through there to get to Africa, and then - bam! boom! pow! Iceland. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this. But hey, I'd love some company. Do you have a month to spare? Do you want to be with me? Do you want to see new things, just 'cause why not? Well let me know, please do!
It's Valentine's Day and unfortunately - thanks, societal values of America - it kind of puts me in a weird mood. I don't exactly feel these thoughts in an overwhelming way, but suddenly I am remembering some people in my past, the idea of "love", etc etc. Looking forward to February 15!
Sorry for the utterly abrupt change in gears, from lovely abstract Caleb exchanges to boring, everyday bla-bla's from me! But hey, I'm back! I'm back and I'm rusty and not used to blogging, but I'll do my best...
Hope everyone is well... xoxo

You know... flights are often routed through London.
Now... I don't know anyone who lives there now per say, but possiby someone who will be living within trainable distance in the nearish future.
This makes me think of a Little Women quote:
Laurie: Can't you see us|bashing around London?
Joe:I'm not fashionabIe enough. You|need someone eIegant and refined.
Laurie: I want you.
(k- except the not fashionable part, causeyou are cooler than school)
oh, when you put it that way, how could one resist some a delightful suggestion? you're a sweetheart. consider it done, then - if a certain someone is in London at the time of my travels, i will certainly stop there for a bit! it would be quite wonderful to spend more time with you and see your life out there... i miss you.
love you!
xo
... or close to London - I'll make the extra effort for you any day, dahling!
