Three Hundred and Sixty Six

Goodnight

So it's 12:39 in the morning, this is officially the last day of the fall semester of my sophomore year. I have this track that I just bought playing from my iPhone. It's just sound-- no lyrics. It's something you might imagine Discovery Channel using in the background of a documentary on the deep seas or the Milky Way. (This is the epitome of ambient music.) I love it because it makes me think about everything collectively. I love how we exist in the midst of all these systems and huge desolate spaces. I love how small it makes me feel. Can you believe how much is really out there? Outside of all our iPhones and final exams, marriages and careers? It is amazing. It's just as amazing to me that all of this matter has come to formulate us-- our minds and hearts and our capabilities to love and fear and everything else that is as equally exponential as the universe is vast. We are vast. And in the quiet of the night I feel paralyzed in my awe.



And all I can do is write to you.

That is beautiful. You should keep track of these--like a nonfiction story of life:)

Hope your day is as thoughtful.
