I used to hear "You'll understand someday" a lot, because there were things I hadn't experienced yet. I had never been far from home with no expected long-term return (an hour isn't far). I had never been in love (real, messy, beautiful love). I had never considered marriage in any concrete terms, only in theoretical.
Lately, I've been having a lot of those moments. Apparently this is "someday" for me. I am halfway across the country from my family, in love and engaged. I never would have guessed this would affect the way art spoke to me, and the way God speaks to me. The depth of this new beauty is amazing, alarming, and quite unexpected.
Do you get what I'm saying? I feel like some of you will totally relate to this, but if you don't...
I'm sure you'll understand when you're older.

My nephew has been playing the strangest game on his PSP for months. All I can say is that it looks like a purple plum bouncing around in the mountains. (And it screams a lot)
His mother asked him last week why he likes it so much, and he tells her "You'll understand one day."
