What Really Matters II

by Stephen D » Wed May 26, 2010 1:49 pm

So, I'm queuing up for my Susan L letter. I want this to be the single-best words I have ever put to paper. To me, all of my efforts have led up to this one, incredibly important moment.

'This is your chance, Stephen, to do that great thing for someone you care about.'

Been mulling it over since Robin made the sticky. This is familly. The odds are stacked against us. Hell, the judge may never even read my careful consideration. Yet, at the end of the day, I want to walk away from this knowing I did it right, that I stepped up and gave my all for it all.

So, I decide to give myself as many shots of mental steroids as possible. The music in this room, the temperature of the room, indeed- I have even considered the time of day in which to write this (late afternoon is my most lucid time as a Leo.) I'm gonna get at this, all guns a-blazing, promise.

So, then I think I should go and find that experience that typifies my understanding of Susan and who she is- simply to get that motivation. The words always flow faster, freer and truer when guided by the inspired hand.

Nail on the head- frikken genius. I went to Mi Patria!

Justin, remember when we had lunch ther and the owner touched me on the shoulder, ever so briefly, just to let me know I am familly? The simplest of notions becomes something so much larger, watch!

I, of course had 2 lingua tacos (3's too much- cost $3.71) I picked up some sardines, limes, plantains and an orange. Like $6 all day, not including tip.

I learned that meringue is all about love and love lost, absentmindedly watching the TV, like you did. It is kind of addictive!

This is what I'm talking about: on the way out of the door, I spied the baby. She finally gave birth! Remember when she'd be working and you would think to yourself 'girl, get off your feet!' Now, that beautifull baby girl is quite comfy in a crib, closeby- and diggin the entire village coming by!

I couldn't resist, 'can I,' I asked hesistantly.

She waved me off, 'of course!'

For ten minutes, I sat there, playing with our newest addition. As you would expect, kids dig my company, but I really enjoy them so much more. And this was exactly the reason why I came to begin- to realize who we are as a community on a much deeper level. I had to see it. I needed this, at this moment and the simplest of sentiments became so much more to me.

I only hope I can put this on the paper and that it will help to move the Judge.

Because this matters most.

Yeap! We'll have to do it again, sometime soon.

I'm all for forward thinking cocktails, but damn! :wink:
