"What's your most favorite thing in the whole world - no, the universe?"
Someone asked something like that last night at my friend Gracie's surprise party.
The idea was for people to get a better feel for each other, like asking your favorite food or color when you introduce yourself. The effect it produced, however, was much more profound.
At first, I said something like "beaches, because they're so relaxing." Now, I realize all I missed in that fifteen seconds.
This post, if nothing else, should be saved as a memory of the here and now in the case that this Earth is no more.
I love the sky. I love the trees. I love how things can fly. I love heat and sight and smells and sounds. I love all the color dripping from the world like an old Wendy's cup. I love how the stars shine on a clear summer's night.
I love taking walks on rainy days and making snow cones in the middle of winter. I love laughing and crying and accidentally peeing when I sneeze. I love hearing the birds chirp at 6:00AM. I love friendship and courtship. I love love.
What do you love about this 'ole place?
