Without
I tried calling some people because I felt like talking, but no one answered. Not even my last desperate option.
I got a call from an old aquaintance, Katherine. One of the people involved in the best summer of my life. The summer of 2000. For long time readers, it was the summer of Christina, Julie… and Alix. And the phone call got me very nostalgic. Got me thinking about those days. And… and… got me thinking about Alix. And about the passion of that summer. It was thick with feeling and experience. Thick with being a part of something.
I called Alix, but she didn’t answer her cell phone.
“It still haunts you, doesn’t it?” Yes. It does I guess.
Pictures are the devil’s joy.
I lack a cause. I lack being a part of something bigger than me. Mostly, I guess I lack innocence. I lack being gold. And trying to stay that way. The time when all I wanted was to be with you… whoever that was. When I had so much to give… and I gave it. So much to experience… and I was experiencing it all.
And now this feels empty.
You know, I think you still have so much to give. It’s just finding the right time to give it. You’re amazing, by the way.

But you do belong to something much bigger than yourself: The Body of Christ.

I hate when I need to talk to somebody about something and they don’t answer their phone..it’s depressing. I love pictures..even if they are pictures that remind me of something sad..b/c they’ll never let me forget that day in time. *hugs* alaina joann
