What I Learned This Quarter

This quarter I have learned that when things disappear, you likely aren't ever going to see them again. You think about it forever, go over the day it was stolen from under your nose; maybe if you hadn't stopped for that coffee, or if you hadn't been gazing left at the lovely horizon... maybe you'd of caught it in time. Perhaps it's a stolen wallet, a piece of important jewelry, a pair of pants... or your sister.  Goodbye. Let go. They're long gone. I've lost a few things in my life, but today I come to the conclusion that wherever they might be, let them be there. I've lost them, but they've also lost me.
