Everything is teaching me. I’m no understudy; I am an apprentice of life. Teach me. Grip my heart like he has done - a man I understood and backed away from. Grip my heart like your scent does, your sunsets and lights, fires and quakes, your oceanic power.

My notebook is out; I’m all ears, Life! Slip me under your wing; let’s take a spin. I won’t make a sound; we’ll do it all empirically, Socratically, and utilizing osmosis. I want all A’s and honors.
