fragrance of his knowledge

" I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud.

 And I don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and 

realize that my life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and

 errands and receipts and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines

 and sing out loud in the car with the windows open and wear pink

 shoes and stay up all night laughing and paint my walls the exact 

color of the sky right now. I want to sleep hard on clean white 

sheets and throw parties and eat ripe tomatoes and read books so 

good they make me jump up and down, and I want my everyday to

 make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves

 the gift.”

This is my symphony.
