Having a 'crush' is an accurate term for the experience. Don't you think?I'm enjoying the rollercoaster ride of being human. Maybe 'enjoying' isn't the right word. But when I think about it -- the agony and the giddiness and the excitement and the nervousness and the anticipation of it all -- I can't help but smile. It's not always fun. But it sure is interesting.
I got injured at work a few weeks ago and have been put on light duty, which, because of the physical nature of my job, has me doing something completely different and completely,
utterly draining. I knew my job was badass, but I never realised just how much I loved it until I was no longer allowed to do it.I had no idea how much it was wearing on me until last night, after a particularly challenging day, when I hitched a ride on a coworker's tug down to the bag room. In that moment -- under the cloudy moonlit sky, the bitter cold wind stinging my face, the scent of jet fuel in my lungs -- the feeling of absolute freedom, combined with the knowledge that it was going to be all too brief, welled up and over.
We were back inside before the tears had a chance to freeze.
Beyond the East the sunrise,
Beyond the West the sea,
And East and West the wander-thirst that will not let me be...
