She loves everyone,

so everyone loves her.

Even when she's crumpling inside,

She'll always show the side of her

that's always willing to be positive.

When you want to throw your world away,

I worked hard on it

we worked hard on it

cardboard piece by cardboard piece

completed with neon yellow construction paper and pipe cleaners

hot gluing the cardboard

a big cardboard circle on the bottom

Honestly, it’s hard to believe that as I’m writing this, lounging here in a big bus (treat from Iteam), I’m completing four weeks in Guatemala. I had no idea I would be able to do this trip. My brain was full of fears.

Can I go back

Back to the place I call home

Full of laughter and love

The place where I sleep above my friend

As I'm surrounded by so many others

Home is

trying not to smudge 

our still-sticky nail polish

on the carpet

as we sit

cross-crossed

on the floor

spilling secrets

& memories

our speech sliding

To live in the moment 

is to really see 

to really feel the world around you 

to live in the moment is to capture the glow of a camper's hair in the sunlight
