I recollected on this particular day, that on the long destination to home, i understood what my state was. That is, i was most intensely aware of all the aspects of life surrounding me, and yet of feeling neither part of it nor truly separated from it. Somehow impartial, unattached- an observer. Yet sentient of it all. Very sentient, in fact. Surely this might seem familiar to you too? And always, there's a burning impatience for the next thing to announce itself.

When i was gone, lays gently on my desk, pages raw from flipping. Its my current treasure.. Really. I picked out the right genre;; literature after an hour& a quarter of contemplation in the cold place. I can go all day at the book store. But i never really thought of working in one. I would probably be the grass in a forest.

I finally found what i want as my baptism name. Genevieve Collette!
