Knowing that there are friends all around me makes me smile to the entire world. Seeing empty hallways full again mixes up emotions like the water in the pool after jumping in. Ideas circulate and hopes are heightened for the future although only a few will ever see fruition. From each end they meet in one room at the beginning of the day. Halfway through, they are back and will forever have something else to talk about... except for the half-hour the two girls had to talk to the tadpoles and were left floundering for words. Words of wisdom. The lights, the autumn, the crowds. It's all coming. oh, it's coming. They leave and they go and then they come back to visit. We make decisions and are worried about money. Too little time before the gun, announcing the start. Ribbon, and flowers, and yearbooks, and shirts? The tadpoles are nervous- newborns and tadpoles once again. And so our lives continue like TV from noon to two. but it's all so exciting, isn't it?
