10:45 DC time and our last dinner club has commenced... like in graduation. not ended but to be continued in 2 years, even though it doesn't really mean "ended" in the first place... anyways! we're gonna miss you but know that on may 23, 2007, it will be your half-way mark, and we all know the 2nd half goes faster than the first.. so live it up because the way we see it you're already coming home soon ;)
love always,
sienna & binzie

Hi Maya,
I've been picturing you settling in and rolling up your sleeves making ready to change the world and thought I'd write you a poem. Know we are thinking about you.


Maya's Corp

Imagine Maya in a Fijian wrap
An exotic flower behind her ear
Meditating in tropical gardens
As she sprinkles her wizard wand
Over islanders
Enchanting them
Mile-wide smiles from ear to ear

She makes herself indispensable
With her whimsical art
Calm spirit
And quiet efficiency
And walks through her universe in stripped socks and sandals
And a dazzle smile.

Because where Maya dwells
There is joy
