is never the beginning
I met Rebecca on a plane to San Francisco
a trip I never would have taken
if I hadn't worked for a company with very generous comp time
a job I never would have had
if I hadn't worked with Carolyn's husband on a campaign
and our candidate won
If I'd been able to take AP English in high school
I'd have probably placed out of my freshman seminar
meaning I might have not met a professor who changed my life
or a boy I had hoped would, but didn't.
These tiny details. The strangers along the way
who sculpt us, change us, direct our paths
give us beginnings
or segues
or conclusions
broken, imperfect choices
that brought me to this love
this day.
