Admiration

This morning I was reflecting...
There was a point in my life, not too long ago, when thinking back on that time, I felt very vulnerable and emotional. When in the company of people who were new I would feed off of the excitement. I made friends very easily, requiring them to share every detail of who and how they are in the world. This seems ridiculous now. Why require such intimacy from these people? I feel that even more quickly these friendships were lost because of the insane amount of intimacy, I thought was so important. Why was I so obsessed with the prospect of a new person? Maybe it was my age, both mental and emotional. Whatever that some thing was, I hope that I have in some way 'grown' out of it. Trying to get to know people takes time. I am very familiar with this length of time. Even though I want to know people instantly, I feel like the best people will surprise you right away, but finding out why is worth the wait.

Misto thoughts

Another day sitting, with no plans, and on this rainy day I feel pretty good. I'm calmed when there is rain. This morning in particular I'm going for a walk...a long walk. I hope it takes most of my day and that I can do as I please without too many distractions. That would be a great day.

Landing

One if the most amazing things I have ever been witness to was, without a doubt, the landing of the Mars rover Curiosity. Even though this moment took part within the last twenty-four hours, I am still emotional. Early this morning, I took part in what I think is the single largest step for mankind. We will soon know more about the Red Planet than anyone before our generation. And, whether you believe it or not, it is possible that more than one human will step foot on that planet within our life time. I have no aspirantion to travel into space or to explore the universe, but I recognize the grandeur of this venture and the scoop of the process to get there. I appreciate the significance of exploring the universe and want to better understand this Space that surrounds me. What an amazing thing!
