And so phase one is over just like that. It wasnt something we've planned. But along the way, i was taught that nothing ever really does happen according to plan. So we've decided to let nature take its course.    

As usual we'd start slow, the way we always did, because the run, the planning could go on for awhile. Maybe even forever.That was the thing. You just never knew. Forever was so many different things. It was always changing, it was what everything was really all about. It was twenty minutes, or a hundred years, or just this instant, or any instant I wished would last and last. But there was only one truth about forever that really mattered, and that was this: it was happening.
