But it's faster, love, than you and me/ Faster than the speed of gravity

Harold is a superhero. Just like Willy Wonka or Dr. Strange, he creates a world of his own imagination.

I tend to live in my own fantasy world. But until recently, it was often one in conflict with others.

For a lot of my life, I listened to people when they told me I was difficult. Sometimes, I was difficult. Sometimes, I was just not willing to stay quiet.

Now, I'm trying harder to be a calmer, more accommodating, easier person. I am creating a world that I want through the inaction and through action.

In the evenings, we sit on our front stoop and cover it in chalk. In robots, in polka dots, in ray guns, in stars. In absolutely anything I can and want.

We listen to podcasts of facts and figures, of stories of the world around us and the world we want.

I meditate through laughter and through hugs.

This week, as we travel back to N.J., my goal is to remain this person. To remain and grow into a person that creates her own world and invites others to experience it.
