Spokane touched some nerve that woke me up. I cant put words together to tell you everything we did. and i cant grasp the new ideas and the things that i learned while there. but right now i can do my best to relate to you how i feel. i want to love. everyone. i want to meet strangers and love them without good reason. i want to call my old friends and make them new again. i want to forgive enemies. im broke and im exhausted. but i cant find an ounce of worry about money, and my mind and heart is so refreshed that i could go on forever. i understand how blessed i have been to receive the gift of these people. theres a level of trust, and understanding that can not be matched. im not only talking about these friends in washington. but the friends i have in san jose that i moved to the bay for. and my new friends in san francisco that continually show me that friends ARE family. im so excited to grow with my new co-workers because i can feel their energy and i know the family that they are already knit into. 3 days and 3 nights of tom-foolery, binge drinking, and putt putt golf are like a crystal ball into the future. and the futures good. for all of us.
