Quench For Life And A Love For Limes

It's so beautiful out, I can feel the light breeze blowing through my hair and the soft morning sunshine warming the back of my neck. It's good to be alive.

I love to sit outside before class starts, its so nice now that the weather has warmed up.
I love to sit and listen to music on my iPod and have my note pad in front of me to let all my thoughts loose.

There is so much I have to ponder about. Lately I have been thinking about the future so much and what it will look like. I know that the things Kyle and I are doing right now are paving the way for future opportunities and that gives me a lot of hope.

There is just so much I want out of life. One thing I can compare my Quench for life with is my love for limes. I love to take a lime and bite into it until I get all the juicy goodness out, I will eat it until there is no lime left to taste. That's how much I love limes and that is how I see my life right now. I just want all that I can take out of life, down to the last possible drop. I want to squeeze the life right out of my life!

There is something so beautiful about dreaming and being hopeful, it shines like bright sunshine in a persons life when they dream. I love how it feels outside right now, The sun is starting to come out and shine more and it feels so good to be in its warmth. I love the morning sunshine its so great to feel before I start my day. Peace and blue Sky's are the perfect way to start any day.

Today on my walk to the GO train the tulips were out everywhere I looked, peoples lawns were freshly mowed and the birds were chirping in high definition. It was so nice to walk and take in all the beauty around me. I need to feel this way everyday,then things would be perfect.

I have Delerious on my iPod and I just recently downloaded it, and I love listening to the cutting edge album, it reminds me so much of 1999 when I went on YMI, that time in my life was one that nothing can ever come close to comparing too. I have never felt so free in my life before and everyday I feel like I will do anything to have that back.

Sitting here right now, outside Sheridan, on a picnic bench and under a tree I feel like that world from before wants to collide with my world now. I can feel it breezing up against me, its in the air and I feel like its getting stronger. I know the day will come when I am freer then I was in the summer of '99 and until then I wait, anticipating its arrival. I'm going to do everything I can until that day to make sure that it happens. I know that this time its not about an instant change, its about me making the choice to live my life the way I want it to look and for me to take the steps to set the stage for whatever is in store and I am ready today more then I ever have been.

Do you ever feel like you could just sit and talk forever? Like if it were up to you, your hand and your pen would never stop moving, There is just so much beauty around you to talk about?

I feel this well inside of me, and when I send my bucket down into the well there is water there, ready to be brought up for the first time in a long time. For the longest time I felt like I would send my bucket down and the well would be completely dried up, I don't know what happened since then but the well has some water in it now and I'm soaking up as much as I can take.
I don't want the well to run dry again. I want it to over flow.

These are my early morning thoughts, my one hour before class starts, my session with life.

The Story of a Prince and a Girl who Dreamed of finding Her Prince.

Once upon a time there was a young woman named Ruby; she lived in a far way kingdom where only the stars in the sky could light the way. The kingdom was tall and made of stone. Inside, it had all of the finest linens and tapestries with winding stair cases, golden mirrors and exotic flowers that stretched the kingdom’s stone walls. The kingdom was surrounded by a large creek bed and had a large wooden draw bridge outside the tall black iron front gates. Beyond the kingdom were many forests, pastures, rivers and hills.

The young woman lived in the kingdom with only her two servants Nigel and Jasmine. They had been with Ruby ever since her mother gave birth to her and have cared for her and loved her since the great royal war that took her family tragically away from her. Years had past since then and Ruby was a young woman now. Since the great royal war she had not seen another person beside her servants. The lands had been deserted as other kingdoms were destroyed and abandoned. No one knew this kingdom existed. It stood in a far off place that only one deserted over grown pathway in the forest would lead to.

Ruby spent her childhood growing up playing with all the animals in the forest, she had names for all of them and would spend her days dancing in the pastures and walking along the creek bed throwing stones into the water. She was content those days as she lived free and enjoyed every tree, every stone, and every pathway near the kingdom. She loved her home but she missed her family and many times she felt alone.

As Ruby grew older she began to stop playing in the pastures and instead she spent her days walking along the creek bed dreaming of finding love and not being alone anymore. Every night outside her balcony she would spend time looking out into the stars and making wishes that one day soon a wonderful man would find the unmarked path in the forest that would lead him to her kingdom.

Nigel and Jasmine were very old now; Ruby took time to care for them and tended to their needs. She would gather food from the garden and make them food to eat and get them blankets to make sure they were comfortable when it was cold. She was not sure how much longer they would live but one thing she knew was how much she admired they’re love for one another and she hold that in her heart for as long as she lived.

It was a warm fall evening; the leaves from the trees were lightly falling as the sun began to set. Ruby was standing on her balcony in her long white silk night gown. As the dark sky began to shine, a light breeze bustled against her gown and her long brown hair blew lightly in the wind. She stood with her hands on the balcony ledge and wished to the stars like she had so many nights before singing” Star light Star bright bring my prince home to me tonight” She stared up into the dark blue sky and began to talk more to the shinning stars.

Just as she was looking up into the sky, talking to the stars a man was following the pathway from the forest that leads to Ruby’s kingdom. He was beginning to approach the edge of the pathway he had began journeying on earlier that day and was about to step on to a beautiful white shiny stoned pebble walk way that would lead up to a draw bridge and to Ruby’s kingdom.

The young man had been travelling for months only eating what he could find along the pathway. Henry was a prince from the golden city of Persia. He was on an expedition when he was captured by rivals and taken to a far away land where he was imprisoned in a place he did not know. Months ago after many nights planning Henry escaped while the guards were sleeping. He thought he would be able to journey home by recognizing land marks but once he had fled the guards he realized that he was further from home then he ever imagined and much to his dismay he did not recognize any of his surroundings. He had been following the sun in hopes of finding his way home. Each day he walked further hoping that one day the pathway would lead him to his family.

Earlier that day Henry had been walking though the forest with large green bushes and fruitful trees around him when he saw a small unmarked pathway that was ragged and old. There were no fruit trees, only old tall trees and an old pebble pathway that seemed run down and abandoned.

He was going to continue to walk on the pathway he had been but something caught his eye as he walked past this abandoned trail. Henry saw a small red ruby attached to a ring lying in between some wet leaves. The sun was shining on it and it glistened and shinned at him. He bent down and lifted the leaves around it away and dusted the ring off and looked at. The ring was prestigious and fit for a princess. He thought about continuing on the main pathway road through the forest but he was drawn down this unmarked pathway. He wondered if this ruby red ring belonged to someone. He put the ring in his pocket and began to walk along the jagged unmarked pathway. He noticed that there were no markings along this pathway so it appeared that no one had walked this pathway for many years.

To Be Continued…
