The world begins to slow and I along with it. For four days I will slow my world down a little bit if only so that the twirling act that will begin on Tuesday will be a little less overwhelming. I will try to finish my biggest two papers for this semester (and, dare I say, perhaps my college career?). I will go to church on this Sunday, my favorite holiday. I will play with babies in the afternoon and eat Easter dinner with some people I love and some people I don't know. I will sit on the soccer field with a blanket and a book.

I will not scratch the poison ivy on my inner arm, compliments of the excursion.

Tonight, though, I will eat caramel birthday cake for my beloved friend with some more beloved friends and we will be slow together.
