Fall AgainFall Again
It was love at first sight, or so I’ve heard. I don’t know, I wasn’t there, I wasn’t born yet. It was winter and it was snowing. They stood eight feet apart on the edge of the sidewalk completely oblivious of each other. Years later, they would say they were oblivious of the entire meaning of life. They each hailed a cab, not unusual in New York. A cab pulled to the curb, mid-point between the two. And that’s when it happened because you neve Fall Again

you had to be there.don't tell me you never forget how to breathe sometimes. that basic instinct never lacking keeps you from ever drowning. don't tell me you've got all the words that you could ever say strictly memorized to never leave you speechless. don't tell me life is running smoothly that everything's alright, under control. you've got control. don't tell me.
because i forgot to breathe that time and i didn't know just what to think and i was drowning in the surroundings that i shared with you. and i was speechless, kind of shocked that time so unexpected-- yeah it was you &nbs you had to be there.

we can go it, not alone.the empty skies are out tonight and nothing shines do we look up and feel as hollow as the image? so don't believe we have no reach for change a better place we can make a better place
so i will make the stars if you draw the constellations i never had much of an imagination anyhow but i believe that if i believe that it's enough...
you know there's no balance- though the sun shines brighter without competition it's not enough for... it's just not enough. we can go it, not alone.

So today was that luncheon at the La Jolla Country Club with the La Jolla Literary Society.
I'd never heard of Pico Iyer, and I'll be honest, I was kind of disappointed because I knew I'd get to hear an author speak, and I was just downed because I'd never even heard of this guy.
Well I looked him up, and he was going to speak about his latest book called The Open Road, and it's about the Dalai Lama.
I was like, okay, I don't even know if i CARE about the Dalai Lama.

Well, all preconceptions put aside, Pico Iyer's lecture/speech (it seems wrong to call it so, he was very engaging) was, as I have stated parenthetically, very engaging, and interesting, and inspiring if you would believe it.
All the attendees receieved a pre-signed copy of his book, and I'm excited to read it.

After his speech and the Q&A following, we got to meet him ourselves and take pictures, and he wrote an inscription in my copy of his book. It was exciting, to say the least.
He seems a very interesting person, and kind, and very conversational.

I also got to meet with the first place winner. Her name is Jennifer, and I tried to find her on facebook, like I promised I would, but there are a lot of Jennifers /: I do know her last name, but I'm not sure how safe it would be disclose that here, or if she would appreciate that.
Her story was really good! It was about the love of writing, and it really hit home. I realize that's kind of a lame expression, but what she wrote, I felt it. And that's a lot.
The other second-place winner (because there are only first and second place, but this year they thought that both of us deserved to win) is named Valentino. His story was sci-fi. Sci-fi isn't really my genre of choice, so I probably can't appreciate his story as much as I'd like, but it did have excitement to it.

When we got to the Country Club, and we were sitting at our tables, with a booklet that held copies of the winning stories, and I was reading them,
I realized again how incredible it is that I actually won.
And congratulations to the other winners also, Jennifer and Valentino.
I'm as proud of you guys as I am of myself, even more proud I dare say (:

Today was a good day (:
