Company.

Recently a friend asked me if I still blog. I realized that I hadn't been here to visit this page in so long. It feels like a forgotten friend. Not just this page, but the beautiful woman who asked me about it. I will quietly hope she visits this page, and let this particular entry embrace her like a hug. If only my arms could reach her so far away.

Too many things on my mind to keep this coherent. I noticed recently that I don't think I have normal thoughts. I think in terms of writing. Everything I look at is a sentence that I hope will move someone. My entire mind is filled with words, like puzzle pieces waiting to find their place. Only who knows what the picture is? I like to think of it as one big, beautiful picture, and if you looked closer and closer you would see the tinier pictures that make up the big one. Pictures within pictures. Within pictures.

I've been thinking so much about my friends. Most of them are far away. Some of them are close, but also far away. But I still think of them. Each with gems and gold for hearts. And what they have done to me, it produces a friction that produces a heat. If only I could meld them into rings and necklaces and bracelets to make an outward manifestation of the beauty within them. I'd wear them and show everyone, this is my friend Lindsey- see? She sparkles! And this is my friend Haley, you see? When you hold her up to the light you can see the rainbow. And this is my friend Kelly, I wear her on my left hand because it leads directly to my heart. My entire body would be jeweled.

I love you friends.
