One year Ago...

One year ago today
I walked to class for the first time

One year ago today
mom and I drove all the way here

One year ago today
We bought furniture... a rug

One year ago today
I left the comforts of a familiar life

to follow an intended one...

One year later
watching the new students come to class for the first time
Imagining them buying towels, dishes, beds...

One year later
I am part of the Institute
part of a large community
at peace in (my) self

thank you!
