Midnight Runs

I just came back from a run. I felt tired when I left, so I stopped and walked halfway through. While I was flying down the hall and jumping over somebody's front wall, a guy I knew from XC drove by, and we talked. It was good to see somebody, because the night felt really weary.

I've been weighed down today by decisions. What to do? I feel powerless, and that frustrates me more than anything. As I was walking back home, a favorite came on though my headphones. Elephant Gun, by Beirut. I had been dancing in the street, under the full moon, when the song switched and I was overcome with how alive the world is. I wanted to climb every tree and play on every roof.
