Well, I just got home a couple hours ago from on of the most liberating weekends of my life. The entire weekend went by in a flash. On the 19th I graduated from college with a double major in anthropology and communication with a 3.49...so far. I roundup so when they asked for everyone with a 3.5 to stand up I did. After the ceremony we went to the Tower Inn for dinner and it was amazing! I was surrounded by my family and my best friend. It was an evening of nothing but smiles, music, good food and good drinks. At one point I looked up at into a mirror and saw Frank Sinatra looking down at me smiling. Okay, there was a picture of him on the opposite wall but it was one of those moments...I love Frank Sinatra.
On the night of the 20th to the wee hours of the morning of the 21 I was at the Observatory viewing the lunar eclipse. Everyone was so upset because it was ridiculously cloudy and the light pollution was terrible; especially with the snow. But I thought it was perfect. The eclipse was barely visible through the clouds, barely peeking through here and there. Like the direction of my life right now. It is clear but only barely. I have the immediate plans outlined but everything else is a blur off in the distant somewhere overcast by clouds and fog. I had a three hour car ride home to think about where all of this was going. And I just kept going back to standing on the rooftop looking up and the eclipsed moon. No stars, just the moon. Life has been a whirl wind and that moment was just perfect timing.
Kudos to God. "a railroad Huckney, a traveling epic Huckney, crossing and recrossing the country every year, south in the winter, north in the summer and only because he has no place he can stay without getting tired of it and because there's nowhere to go but everywhere and keep rolling under the stars, generally the western stars" -Kerouac
