Rachel's birthday

days before bombs exploded at the Boston Marathon
we explored dinner at Lenoir, as an impulse
and a couple of days later Terrance Mallick's To the Wonder

- life in all its fullness

pushes boundaries
causes us not to keep marching forward
but stop and think about the detritus dropping at our feet

life cut short after celebrating a great moment
actions completed without thought of a future
in the space of two hours, time to ponder
relationships
interactions
purpose

one life begun 22 years ago
on a Sunday in fact
with all these questions laid out before her
