Oh, I saw another sign today.

What crappy "beginning" to the day.

I say beginning because a 30 min nap hardly separates the days.

Eventually the days melt together, days never end because I keep living them.

Being awake means you're living more life than those who choose to sleep.

Haven't I said this before?

It was beautiful, too much of a coincidence for it to not to mean something.

Today i saw kids.

Little kids.

Vessels of innocence.

Foundations of nations.

The seeds of the future.

And I gotta supervise them every wed?

What a trip to be back in your old elementary school.

Those walls, those smells, the feel, forever seared into the essence of me.

50 % Latino? Really?

We're seeing the future.

I'm glad I can give back, I want these kids to be better than I was.

How many Benitos can I find ;).

The bird perched on its branch,

I gave the sky an upward glance,

The clouds parted, a sunlight trance,

Immobilized, and in my stance,

I heard the bird call, feathered brass.

It spoke to me, I know it did.

Audience of one, the coldness hid,

a fire blazed below my skin

its wild call controlled the wind.

And in its song I heard chords of love.

sweet romances, blessings from above.

"Love will find you, as they say,

Just never stumble too astray"

And with that I called back its way:

"The world is too bright,

To only love the night,

So I will also love the day."

OKAY?!

Watch how well I can turn around and walk away.
