i'm in my office, killing time for a few minutes before my new senior high youth leaders get here to discuss
the godbearing life, which is the book i'm making them read (a. because it's excellent, and 2. because i can make them read things if i want to. that's my job.) i'm listening to patty griffin, who i love. a few months ago, my dear friend anya sent me the lyrics to "when it don't come easy," and it will forever make me think of her. as she is leaving this week for her new job, this is for her. and also, this is a picture of anya and i driving into the city when she and oofie came out to visit in march.
Red lights are flashing on a highway
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight
Everywhere the water's getting rough
Your best intentions may not be enough
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight
But if you break down, I'll drive out and find you
If you forget my love, I'll try to remind you
I'll stay by you when it don't come easy
When it don't come easy
I don't know nothing except change will come
Year after year what we do is undone
Time gets moving from a crawl to a run
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home
You're out there walking down a highway
And all of the signs got blown away
Sometimes you wonder if you're walking in the wrong direction
But if you break down, I'll drive out and find you
If you forget my love, I'll try to remind you
I'll stay by you when it don't come easy
When it don't come easy
So many things that I've had before
They don't matter to me now
Tonight I cry for the love that I've lost
And the love I've never found
And when the last bird falls and the last siren sounds
Someone will say what's been said before
It's only love that we're looking for
When you break down, I'll drive out and find you
If you forget my love, I'll try to remind you
And stay by you when it don't come easy
When it don't come easy
i heart you, an. remember the children. :)

That picture makes me miss your fun face.
My response to your picture on the computer: Sitting in my office with shimmery jazz hands on either side of my head with my mouth wide open in elation.
Twincredible.
Now if only there were pics from A's going away party.
