Sometimes

In grad school I created a text piece that read:

SOMETIMES I FEEL REALLY CONNECTED TO THE WORLD. THANKS WORLD.

My beloved friend Ashley has been making mixes for Ben and I for half a year now. She sends them every few months and then we respond with something – anything we want: art, letters, photographs. At some point in the future we will share all of these things in an exhibition. It came about while driving in her car last summer in Portland. We loved her ipod playlist so much, and kept asking, “Who is this? It’s such a nice song.” and the idea was born. She seems to know so much about music, and has impeccable taste. And everytime I get one of the CDs in the mail, I feel a little more connected to her. Bless the friends we have that make us feel good about ourselves, this world and life in general.
