i think i am a city girl at heart

Dear Livejournal,

I love New York. We saw a river of lights on the way home, and all the skyscrapers glowing against the dark night sky. I'm going to be very sad when I go home to Saratoga. :( I think I am a city girl at heart.

So, in follow up to Cello Congress, the students are apparently putting together a scrapbook for our dear cello maestra, and everyone's contributing to some degree. I can't be there to write a handwritten message. :x But I offered:

    Dear Mrs. Kim,

    I LOVE YOU.

    -Adela

However, I was rejected. Apparently this isn't a card sort-of thing where everyone just signs in a small space, it was supposed to be a substantial message (oops). So I fixed it to:

    Dear Mrs. Kim,

    If the sun stopped shining and the moon stopped glowing and the stars no longer twinkled
    because the world was about to end, and little kids ran around screaming beneath the grey
    sombre sky (and adults set their jaw with a hardened line, and dogs laid their heads mournfully
    upon their paws, and poets gazed out at the blackened land and dreamed)…

    And the Voice of God broke through the clouds and lifted the grey, breathed green back into
    every blade of grass, brought life sprawling back across the land (so that the people sighed, the
    dogs’ tails began to wag, and the poets smiled)…

    God would be you.

    And we would be the people.

    Thank you for bringing us through Cello Congress to the end.

    -Adela
