we could spend the evening, talking and sleepless.

i woke up this morning at noon from the best and longest sleep of my life. and i went downstairs to hear kelda making a comment about how she couldnt believe it was already the second.
its not very hard for me to believe that its the second, because it feels like just another second. but its 2009, like something significant that i missed out on.

i sense that people feel like they're starting over, and i wonder if they're really just trying to convince themselves everything is new even though we've just been around one year more.
of course i want this to be a good year, i wanted 2008 to be a good year, i want tomorrow to be a good day. but how trivial this all feels to me isnt changing that this year is going to be full and heartwrenching and beautiful. and it seems that we're all on the edge of something really big and maybe something great.

and 2008 really was a good year. i found a lot of hurt and a lot of light and a lot of life. it was good because Jesus is good. and for me, it ended at one of the best places on earth that i've experienced, with some of the most wonderful people i've ever known.
