A little Boy's Thoughts of a Blue Line

Written May12/08 8:02PM

So I went to the beach today with Sophie, a supervisor from PCW, and her family. When we got there I was more than taken back by the beauty of the coast, almost as if I could have turned around and caught someone snapping a photo for a postcard. I have been to many water fronts before but I don't think i can remember catching such a clear view of what seemed to be the edge of the earth. I took in the infinite look of the horizon and wondered how any artist was ever able to capture the depth of this distinct line. Then found it further interesting that without even realizing you always could tell where the blue of the earth ended and the blue of the heavens took over and for a split second I sympathized with Galileo and could have sworn against the circular formation of the earth. I think that little boy was thinking the same..

The Next Thing on My List

Written May 6/08 at 1:30PM

Every time I travel and meet or see someone interesting I always wonder what their story is, where they are coming from and where they are going.

In my seat on the plan ride from Trinidad to Barbados I looked across the aisle and saw this very artsy,bohemian looking woman reading a book. So as customary I wondered what her story was, then I looked at the title of the book, "The Next Thing on My List" and immediately felt that I not only understood but I wanted to share in the process of crossing off my next thing.

I pulled out my list and right under 'Land a Wicked Internship' sat 'Begin to LiveLife in The Moment'. Ironically enough i think it was that instant that I was really experiencing a genuine "moment" in my life. I realized my mind was at ease I was not sweating over details of CONCEPTION, anxious about a paper due or an upcoming exam, I didn't think about washing the dishes or cleaning my room. No at that moment I thought about me, the seat I rested in and the pillow nestled behind my neck. Finally, I smiled to myself, got out my pen crossed it off and looked for The Next Thing on My list.
