it's raining today. i can't believe it! right in the middle of winter, right in the middle of ithaca, and it's raining. this is amazing.... but not as amazing as the brilliant sunrise i witnessed as i got up from my bed and looked out of the window. but here lies the tragedy.... my first thought was to grab my camera and take a picture. my second thought came about half an hour later, when i woke up again. turns out that in between getting out of my bed and reaching for the camera, i had lapsed into an unfortunate sleep and lost the chance to capture that wonderful moment and now all i can take a picture of is this sad, morose drizzle that doesn't seem to want to end.

life is so fleeting, so transient.

and sometimes people come into our lives, make a brief but deep impression, and then disappear, leaving us with the slow drizzle of routine and a smattering of memories.
