She saved the world. A lot.

My alarm clock is about to sound, but I've been awake for some time.  I slept a few hours, after watching the final scene of Buffy season 5.  "The hardest thing in this world is to live in it," Buffy tells Dawn.  "Be brave.  Live."  Then she gives her gift.  Sisters give a special kind of love, and I'm so thankful for it.  I'm thankful for the music I am listening to, the trees in Trexler Park, the old gardener who lead the tigers away, and the divine mother who has always been with me.  That is more than enough for this sleepless soul.
