Time

It’s been a little over a month since I’ve written anything on this website.

In that time, I’ve finished up my soccer seasons for both high school and club. I have been working on editing my anthology of odd stories which I will be posting as an e-book and paperback on Amazon.

I have been navigating the ins and outs of education and careers within it.

More than anything else, I have been finding small moments in which I tried to appreciate where I am. The other night I was out at a practice and it was pouring rain. As I stepped out the field, I looked up into the night sky that was illuminated by the fields floodlights, and descending raindrops look like snowflakes. That we forget, the magic of something is simple and mysterious as water falling from the sky.

I understand, condensation models, and clouds and rain. But science doesn’t obscure the wonder. It shouldn’t. Just because you understand how something works doesn’t mean you understand why. And without that “why” you get to bask in a sublime unknowing.

I am 30 years old. In some days, I feel it and every second and others I couldn’t tell you what my age is. I don’t think I could accurately describe my expectation of however long my life will be. But I know that I’m grateful for everything that is coming my way. From nighttime backflip, raindrops to beautiful stories, to the vast unknown.
