one of those days...

have you ever had one of those days where you feel like there's so much potential - so many potential moments, potential things to learn, potential conversations to be had, potential moments to be lived - that you feel as though you would break out of your skin? the potential energy inside of you is stirring, and you feel the need to sing or shout or run or dance. instead, i sit and watch the sunshine stream through my window as i study arabic and political anthropology and current events and write emails and notes and letters, wishing with all of my heart that i could capture everyone in this one perfect moment, uniting them with me here and now, in this moment - transcending time and distance.

maybe this feeling is provoked by a stunningly clear blue sky after a week or so of rain and drizzle. or maybe it's the joy of getting things accomplished. or maybe it's the shot of espresso that i had an hour or so ago...
