these long summer nights make me feel timeless.

i feel some childlike idea slipping back in; the one where i can do anything. not in a superhero way (though that is always a fun fantasy) but the way of being what i want, doing what i want, not being limited. the other day, i was quoted the poet david white as saying, "if you aren't doing what your life's work is, you are doing someone elses." i feel like i've been standing in someone else's shoes. and i think it's good to walk a mile in someone else's shoes but i've walked too far. and i'm looking at my own path now.
