The light was on my side tonight as I made my usual Thursday trek to Athens. Since the time-change, sunset has been delayed just enough to allow me to get up to that removed college town with ample light. Sushi, laughter, discussions, growing together. It blows my mind to think that Jenny and I have known each other for nearly five years now. We were such different people then, both of us.
Driving home down the lonely late-night streets, thoughts of our years of friendship keep me distracted. The darkness seemed extra thick and rich tonight, like a pillowy fog through which my car carried me, not entirely untouched by it's inkiness. The stillness provided a comfortable backdrop for my solipsism, like a blank canvas of a dream. I'm so grateful for that girl. I hope our kids will play together and she and I can laugh while they cavort around like we have.
