all the parts

there's a part of me that still feels as if i'm floating away on that sparkling lake, even though my feet are thoroughly planted back home, back in the usual swing of things.

there's a part of me that wishes i could see all of those beautiful squammers more often.  

& then there's the part of me that knows that it somehow it wouldn't be as special.

 

there's a part of me that needs more time to find the words to explain it all.  

& there's that part of me that knows that they just might not come to the surface.

sometimes there's a part of me that likes to stay quiet, to simply sit with the all of beauty and be comforted by my blue, blurry memories.

& then there's the part of me that wants to get it all out, to share in this space so i don't forget.  & so that you might make your way to the lake someday too.

& right now, that's the part that is whispering loudly in my ear, so loudly in fact, that i may just give in.  

so for now, you have these pictures.  simple snapshots that captured quiet moments.  

the hush of the in between...

words are to come.  all in due time.

it was seriously the best squam ever.  really & truly.  

all of me is incredibly thankful that i got to be a part of it.
