I thought that the next time I felt this way it would be about a person. It only ever has been, after all.

This time is different, though. It’s about a place, even more so an experience, and most of all it’s about promise. Not a promise made only to be broken, as humans can’t help doing. Promise in the sense of potential developments, outlines yet to be drawn, not to mention filled in; shapes yet to be imagined, much less formed.

And that’s not all. More certainty: self-doubt sublimated to its essence at last. Less conflict: mutually-assured growth pact signed-sealed-delivered pretty much at first sight.

The way a thing like this begins is a preview of the way that, one day, it will end. And this is one of the ones where you just *know* it’s right, from the start, and will be all the way through.

Having to wait a few months yet could mean that this feeling of being suddenly alive to all of the possible possibilities that came over me in that sunlit conference room a few months ago might do a slow fade. I monitored it closely, at first, but the realization of its realness was undeniable.

Everything is going to change. I am going to change, a lot, for all the right reasons I can think of and many I’ve yet to. I can hardly wait, but I won’t have to much longer.
