Cracked Up

I've been working for the Florida Grand Opera for the last couple of months. While I have been there, I have been privileged to make two exceptional new friends, Juan Carlos and Landa. They have made me feel welcome and comfortable there. Today they had me laughing so much, for so long, I had to leave to cry a little. I haven't laughed like that in a very long time. What a release. I came back after my cry and kissed them both on the cheek and thanked them for being blessings in my life. I have learned not to take those beautiful connections for granted.

"your friends confine you in their worlds
one by one, a string of pearls
confused you say
this isn't me
you hover in their unity
ashamed you slowly lose your grasp
release the links, undo the clasp
the skin that drips down off the tree
or peels back slowly from your knee
erupts into your lung and heart
you laugh and laughing fall apart."
--Phish


Juan Carlos, Myself, Landa (and Aniela goofing in the back!)
