MY BIGGEST QUESTION IN LIFE WASN’T ANSWERED BUT I HEARD INSIDE ME THAT THE WAY TO SPEND IT WAS NOT KNOWING WHERE IT WOULD TAKE ME. 

TODAY I STAND ON TOP OF A ROCK AND WRAP IT. I WRAP THIS ROCK IN PRESENT PAPER.I LOOK AT YOU, ROCK, AND I THINK ABOUT THE GIFT OF DECIDING TO SPEND MY PRESENT TIME GETTING TO KNOW YOUR EDGES AT THE END OF THE SEA. WRAPPING YOU AND BEING WRAPPED BY THE PASSING OF TIME AND AIR.

I FORGET HOW TALL I’M STANDING AND WRAP MY LEGS TO YOUR SURFACE WITH AHAND HOLDING THE PAPER AND THE OTHER ONE FOLDING AND TAPING.
I THINK OF ALL THE RIDICULOUS ACTIVITIES WE HUMANS DO. WHY WOULDN’T I SPEND TODAY WRAPPING YOU, ROCK, IN PRESENT PAPER?
I LOOK AT YOU, AFTER SPENDING THE DAY TOGETHER. YOU LOOK LIKE A PRESENT. A MEMORY OF THE TIME WE SPENT TOGETHER IN THE PAST, A PICTURE OF WHERE I’VEBEEN STANDING THAT ONE DAY, A REMINDER IN THE SHAPE OF A GIFT TELLING TO MY FUTURE ME THAT I WILL ALWAYS BE ABLE TO CHOOSE WHERE TO BE, IN PRESENT.
