As I hurried across campus to my evening class, she caught my eye. Her hair streaming behind, she sped toward the very buildings I had just left, taking large strides like a girl with a purpose before her. A giant figure of light, she knew not of my existence, I was simply a small being espied from the corner of her eye, if at all.
But she occupied almost all of the sky before me.
I barely managed to snap this single picture before she was gone.
My students had seen me stop in my tracks to take the photo. I had told several that I would be sure to forward the picture to them, but I have not.
Somehow, I want the running girl to be only mine.
After all, I saw her first.
I saw her.
But perhaps I will eventually share her with those who had asked. I wonder if they will recall that Wednesday evening?

Fabulously flawed!

I think it's the only way to be, actually...unless ordinary/uninteresting and flawed is an option. In which case, the first combo is definitely the best possible option between those two choices. I'm definitely flawed and fabulous, and so are you.

Our flaws (and strengths) are what make us unique... Special.... Fabulous!!!
