Libby works at a movie theater that has a deal with a lot of other theaters around town where she can see movies for free with a friend. So we spend a lot of time watching movies.
Now there are a lot of movies that are fine for a tuesday evening, some that are great! and some that I don't want to see at all. So we're always making choices about what to see or if we want to see anything. I'll watch a trailer, read a review or talk to some friends. But as soon as I know I'm going to see a movie, I don't want to know anything more about it. I don't want the cliff's notes. I want to read the book. I've made my choice.
It's hard talking about this trip in too much detail. The trip is a risk. I want to say what i can to absorb the doubt, swallow the recklessness, because this trip is for those who don't see themselves as risk takers. If our adventure appears to be made for other people, if you feel like pushing out, drifting away, isn't something someone like you can do, then I work to help you see the possibility. There is space for anyone who hasn't been where the water goes.
I look forward to the first week in July, when we will see it forming. There will be big slabs of white, flowing pink, all of us together, making choices and mistakes. You come over at 3am and everyone's there. Almost done. Glad to see you. Exactly what we needed! Great idea! Does it contain wheat?
July 7th. It's so early in the morning! Everyone's costumes are perfect. My mom's crying and I give her a hug. So long hug. We thank the old man who's advice we couldn't have done without and those kids whose names I can't remember. Smells like coffee's roasting. The traffic's not as loud as you expected.
