It's more than that...

It's more than the excitment of Disneyland...it's the allowance I make to be a child.
It's more than a nickname...its a closeness of a friend.
More than a game...it's finding a new passion.


More than my brother waking up early to skate with his sister before work...
More than my parents feeding and tolerating my cat while I head out of town for a weekend...
More than my cat meeting me at the door or his chattering or his cuddling...
More than a meal at chili's or a night of sushi...
More than coffee and colonge and good conversations...
More than realizing that I can do now physically something I never dreamed of doing 5 months ago...
More than the sore muscles or sweat...
More than putting on the gear, the skates and a jersey and doing something new...
More than long rides in a car with a good friend...
More than a book...
More than a story...
More than a lists of things to accomplish...
More than the parts of body, my brain, the cells we're made of...

More than facing fears...

More than just waking up everyday to survive...it's the embracing the good in life, enduring the hard, learning, loving, grasping on to what makes us more than the sum of all the parts.
