Mundo's Mind

I miss Poly. Maybe not so much the whole thing even though I like that aspect but all the people I left there and the life I was able to live while I was there, I mean nothing can beat it. I went to school on about 4-5 hours a day max. I was active in that I worked and was in pretty decent shape (I actually had the time and energy for it). I had time to relax, chill, enjoy, and many times just really do nothing. I was around my friends all the time, kinda like they were my family and all. I was able to do meaningful that directly affected people and from which I am able to still see the fruits of my labor. My girlfriend was in walking distance such that I was able to balance her properly into my life (with us apart I feel a more pressing need on both parts to make the most out of each encounter). It felt good to email my kids today reach out and see how they are. I wonder how things are sometime but I have faith that all will be well in the end. I guess cause I put so much of myself into them and the pledge dad thing. Those were some difficult times for me but I cherish every moment of it. I think of Jimmy and if he got to see us. I think we were a really hard working respectable class that contributed a lot to the house. I know things are different though I'd like to think the philosophy is the same. I just wish I could see sometimes, through the hard times not just in the end. Like if I could it'd be cool to see the poet write his poetry before he said it, or the painter do his work before it was put on display. The life, like Dave Matthews said the space between, well my interpretation at least. I need to work on my book again, I think a fresh start on work really well. I think having this time away from it all and working has given me a lot of perspective for school and life and work in general. The things I've done and been thorugh and even thought that I can finally just say wow to as well as have the opportunity to remember and learn even more from. Just appreciation I guess, for everything really. The things that I've made and the things I've had the fortune of coming across. All good things which no matter what in the end have become things that I have made mine.
