i didn’t think about it.

i thought about

it from time to time,

but i wasn’t sure i’d

ever come across

it again.

i had a vague sense

of where it was,

but it’s not like i

i really end up

near this place all

that often.

so the memory could

have remained just that.

i’ve gone much further

to find the places

i’ve wanted

to rediscover, and this

one is so close

that it could have

happened much sooner

so today,

it did.

not meant to be,

it just was.

as it all is

these days.

sitting here,

i thought that

where we were

wasn’t where i thought

any of us would be

just four

years earlier,

but who really can

predict anything?

believe me when

i say

i’m glad that

i can’t.

    So mysterious yet soothing.

    I know you’re smiling more than you have in a long time. For that I’m happy.

    Sometimes we seek far and distance lands to rediscover how we previously felt, when sometimes all we need is a refocusing of sorts. I’m glad you’re updating at least the … section. Have a great day!

    this is a good thing. old memories melding with new adventures – starting anew, not starting over.

    Mysterious and beautiful – whatever you found, wherever you were, it sounds like you are at peace. I can’t wait for the book!

    I think sometimes we get pushed where we need to go. Hopefully these memories feel less like a punch in the throat than they used to.

    Beautiful Matt! Memories can really suck sometimes but you have such a brilliant way of describing all the emotions you go through
