The First and Last

I'm leaving Oakland Hebrew Day School today. After 4 years. Teaching, scolding, fretting..I am out. This place held me as a womanly girl. They helped pay my way to a Masters, let me do research here, gave me Fridays off. I slept off hangovers in the Rabbi's study, went to theater camp with their grants, fell out of love here and fell back into my calling. ..writing, performing, playnig, adventuring. So today is the first day of my adventure to Barcelona into the first secure unknown I've known. Secure because I've proven to myself that I can make my way anywhere, alone, that I can hang with the hardness and voice what I want. And I want besas y suenas ...kisses and dreams ... lovers and realized visions...it's time...Now to go cry goodbyes.
