"The physical reinvention of the world is endless, relentless, fascinating, exhaustive; nothing that seems solid is. If you could stand at just a little distance in time, how fluid and shape-shifting physical reality would be, everything hurrying into some other form, even concrete, even stone.
//Mark Doty; Dog Years: A Memoir
If twentyonine was a journey, then twentyten was an exploration in every sense of the word. Twentyten was a year of firsts and lasts, beginnings and endings, and sometimes, most of the time, it was both. It was a year just like I hoped it would be and more and because of that, I am amazed by the grace and glory of the one who leads me. For I am reminded of how little I know, how little I can see beyond the tip of my nose, that he who sees me from start to finish should say in my quiet moments, you see I knew how it would turn out all along.
So thank you for the end of adolescence and the beginning of adulthood. Thank you for late-night mugging and the reward exceeding everyone's expectations. Thank you for unending beaches, lovely sunsets and beauty beyond imagination. Thank you for the people who saw me through, held my hand and picked me up at every curve and bump, every up and down of this year.
Thank you for twentyten, in the end I enjoyed every single minute of it. Have a blessed next year, I can hardly wait :)
