Storm Continued


p>I've been wondering what part of me has been missing. After reading everyting, everyone has written....I think I know. Blog entries, group entries, scattered emails. We haven't been whole for a long time. College began and the glue was undone. Is missing each other that chip that keeps us from being complete? Today I thought so. I drove home away from the storm, but felt compelled to take photographs for those in Ecuador, Alabama, Illinois, Emporia, Derby.
The air smelled like steamy summers, filled with laughter and I was 18 again and we were together for an instant. The wind shifted and it was gone. Hannah had an expression for all of us then and I'm at a loss to remember it, but I felt it tonight. And I wonder if that's what's missing.

p>This is for all my away friends. I know it's summer and you ache for the plains, so I stopped tonight especially for you.

Summer is looming before me ripe with expectation and freedom. My school is finished for now. The kids only have 7 days left and to quote Spongebob, "I'm ready, I'm ready!"

I haven't felt the sweet siren call of summertime since the end of high school. It hasn't really meant a whole for me until this year. I finish college and will be graduating into the real world.
