pools

I was just thinking. I am in a wierd place in my life. Good wierd but still wierd. There is so much going on that none of it seems real. And yet this is my real life. So I capture it on film, write about it and keep momentos so I can sit back at some point and soak in every aspect at a pace that is more condusive to sinking in.
Like when you get a rain storm and there's so much rain that it can't soak into the ground right away...eventually it all soaks in but in the meantime it pools. I have several pools. Eventually they will soak in.
For instance...all of the lovely cards I have recieved. I've read them all but wow there are so many...I think I will be taking one or two out every day for the first year of my marriage and reading them at a pace where I can truley enjoy what is written...each one was given by someone I care about and I don't want the kindness and words of love to be lost in the midst of so much. That's just one for instance...that is one of my pools.
