On the past four years, only this:
How did I
get so lucky?
Of few things can we ever be certain.
I know: there is no place like Gordon.
I don’t have to exhaust the world to know this:
I met my best friends, learned from the wisest, most gracious individuals, and involved myself in an institution that encouraged me to,
while learning intentionality, open-mindedness within conviction, and any other lesson I stopped to learn.
Now, with leaves yellowing and air crisping, I miss with such aching. If I could make those four years last forever, I think I would.
