Yearning.

The feeling is slowly returning to my tongue after the last part of my root canal was finished today. I am taking a break from my homework: a narrative essay. I have chosen the topic of India. I have so many stories stored up in my memory of this lovely place, waiting to be released. When I close my eyes I see nothing but color. Colors of saris, of kumkum piled high in the bazaars. The smell of the trains, the mountains, the deserts and the oceans. It fills me with desire to return, to hop on a plane and be there tomorrow in that exotic and amazing place. There are so many adventures still waiting for me there.
But I shall have to wait. To be content, for now, with my memories, still vast and vibrant in my mind. I will write them down on paper and be carried there in thought, as the cool, grey North Carolina day stares at me through the window . Yes I shall have to wait...for now.
