Change is in the air.

Noticing new, leaves flapping in the wind for the first time since fall. 
Hearing the buzz of a tattoo needle before it hits your skin.
Interviewing freshmen as they share their hopes for next year.
Feeling the air around my feet as I throw on a borrowed pair of sandals. 

Embracing the liberation that comes with only 13 credits. 

Taking a position that I've only begun to process the implications of. 

Befriending the homeless of Seattle and praying they're onto new things. 

Listening to new music as my friends and I speed to Portland. 

Things are pretty new this quarter.

Yet I know I'm really just approaching a mountain of realchange. 

(and I thank God for that.)
