"This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die.
But it's over
Just hear this and then I'll go:
You gave me more to live for,
More than you'll ever know." - Jeff Buckley

In the past several weeks I have attended numerous awards receptions, final presentations, farewell happy hours, and celebratory meals... My friend Ben calls it "banquet season." I call it a blur.
Day after day, I find myself saying goodbye to colleagues, students, rituals, and places... It feels impossible to "be present" in any one moment with departures and changes around every corner.
Hence the encroaching feelings of detachment. As if I can beat closure at its own game. By shutting the doors with my own hands, I win.

It could be worse... you could be having a farewell fest on the scale of Oprah.
