A few days ago, a record number of friends visited the apartment to hang out for an extended weekend. There was one specific moment from that mini-vacation, however, that really stood out to me.
Everyone was chilling on the deck, completely carefree to any obligations, as the sun set behind the skyline and the leaked Beach House album played through portable speakers and it was at that very moment that we mutually agreed we needed this.
That particular moment echoed a dream I had just a few weeks earlier, in which seemingly everyone I love were all together. I was joyfully running around what seemed to be Baltimore, surrounded by the people who are truly important to me. We all were no longer seperated by distance or past tension or an illusory divide. There was no drama. No mention of troubling or lacking jobs or relationships. No mention of the future at all; we were all just living in the present, together as one. The moment was all that mattered. Towards the end of the dream, I walked up to Tehila and asked, "what is this magical place?" Her response was the last thing I heard before my alarm woke me up.
"This is what's in your heart."
