  • "i know that you're waiting,
    and i know that it is not for me."
    Kathleen - Josh Ritter

    There's more to this. as there usually is. games written for amusement - while in our heart of hearts, we would give it all up for something real, something true.

    seeing old friends re-established in well worn grooves of your current life is amazingly comforting. it's walking into a room and feeling safe. smiles exchanged and relaxing into patterns of an old life in the midst of a party where you know no one but each other.

    it's a beautiful thing. reminders of a different time. and the beauty of it all - is that you still are comforted. can still connect enough to laugh over a game of beer pong. memories relived, new plots exchanged - and to find that things are essentially still the same.

    and to find that the things that have changed - are simply addendums - focus, readiness, issues resolved, confidence regained - and that they make what existed before more real. more honest.

    we all find what we've been looking for. eventually.

  • Always good to see old friends and have that comforting feeling that you had so long ago just come rushing back in a whole new time. People change, but essentially I think they stay the same.

  • old friends can do wonders.
