"It was one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it. And this bag was, like, dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. And that's the day I knew there was this entire life behind things, and... this incredibly benevolent force, that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember... and I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in."
(this photo is crappy but I didn't want to put the flash on because then you couldn't really see the lights)
When I'm in my last class on Tuesdays and Thursdays and the lights are off because of a slideshow - these lights shine through the windows that line two huge walls of my classroom - and the shadows of the trees and everything come through and you can see them on the desks and on the faces of the students - I swear it's beautiful. I'll take a picture of what I'm talking about exactly one day but the professor lingers in the class after it's over and I'm not on a level with him yet where I can start snapping pictures of an empty room without him thinking I'm a creep.
