“I don’t want to come back down from this cloud. It’s taken me all this time to find out what I need.” – BUSH Album: Sixteen Stone.
The click of the lock on my apartment door when I came in was so loud. I leaned against the door wiping away the strange liquid that was streaming out of my eyes. Strange… yes…It’s hard to believe that throughout such an intense experience as working at AIDS 2006 I didn’t shed a tear. I was so proud of myself for being strong and battling all of the crises and disappointments like a pro. Now… now when it’s almost all over and I can finally breathe again and look forward to getting more than four hours of sleep a night my heart is torn and my mind knows no peace. I’m about to leave my house to attend the closing session not only of the main conference but of our team.
I can feel my heart eating more rapidly now.
This team is incredible and I wish that we did not have to part ways.
“We have to wrap up.” That’s what I was told yesterday evening.
Well… who knows what this new season will mean for all of us.
Bring it on.
