Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear. 525,600 minutes How do you measure, measure a year? In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee. In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife. In 525,600 minutes - how do you measure a year in the life? What a long, strange trip this is. It is getting easier, but we were all wounded. If there is one bit of good that happened a year ago today, it was that we really realized that the most valuable things we own are not things, but friends. Today Katherine and I went out to the Market and walked around in the rain. We went to St. Patrick's and I said a quick prayer, and we looked at shoes and vegetables and smelled perfume and lived in the world.
