 We use the day’s landmarks to navigate our way into tomorrow.

What happens when we want to forget? Where do we go then?

So much of life happens within our minds.

This is how it looks from here:

Sometimes it’s gray, but when the sun comes out, the sunset rivals those of Wohelo.

Sometimes shadows seem to drown out my color, but then I look closely and see how much color is in my life because of you.

Sometimes I forget to live, but then I remember deliberation and a smile creeps across my face.

I graduate tomorrow!

Goodbye to missed opportunities. To Ann Arbor. To perceived failure. To high expectations. To those exs. To the people who loved us for our attention we gave them and not for who we are. Goodbye to this bittersweet ending.

Hello is also bittersweet.

Maybe home is off the map.

The spell of Alaska falls upon every lover of beauty who has voyaged along those far northern snow-pearled shores with the violet waves of the North Pacific Ocean breaking splendidly upon them; or who has drifted down the mighty rivers of the interior which flow, bell-toned and lonely, to the sea.

Ella Higginson, Alaska, The Great Country (1908) [full text]

 One day, I too, will voyage through this land.

And the deepest level of communication is not communication, but communion. It is wordless. It is beyond words, and it is beyond speech, and it is beyond concept. .Not that we discover a new unity. We discover an older unity. My dear brothers, we are already one. But we imagine that we are not. And what we have to recover is our original unity. What we have to be is what we are..~ Thomas Merton

Amazing!
