The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.” Christopher McCandless


I was waiting at the edge of sleep,
listening to the slopes of breath of everyone I love,
when I felt it,
I was watching the rocks at the bottom of the creek shine like glass,
my existence not a guest
but a participant of the trees,
when I felt it
my fingers scraped the bottom of the bathtub,
peeling of the last fragments of mud,
when I felt it
disappear
I lost the memories
I never thought I could
and the importance of each souvenir I brought home
wore away like a coat of paint,
I can't remember the peace in the meadow at midnight,
I can't hear the wind through the trees,
I don't remember what it feels like
