Immense

Not everything is fixed.  Much needs to be done.  We have, however, begun to work from a common ground.  I can’t really bring myself to say what the catalyst is except that it is probably the least expected but most powerful influence I can imagine.

We’ve hit catastrophe after every time we’ve tried to get close until now.  I can’t explain it right now because I’m not ready to face the aftermath of what this all means.  Cryptic?  You bet, but that is of course the other side of me.

Lets just say that at approximately 4:45 pm on the 14th of August, in the year 2003, I hit the end of my road.

The road conveniently was back at the bottom of my personal mountain, and nothing is left but the way back up.  This time, however, it’s not just me on the path.  I have help and I can’t begin to describe the immense feelings in me with this knowlege.

It’s been 12 years since I gave up on the idea, and it seems like only yesterday.

I have to append the dedication now.  Ben, Mom, Anika, the rest of this is for you as well.
