i love it when i get up early enough
or have enough time
to shower in the morning instead of at night.
my hair is still sort of damp, cool, even now at 2:11 PM

i'm wearing my grandmother's jade, and i feel connected
there are birds singing outside and the sky is that shade of blue
that is almost but not quite unbelievable.

before we moved here i didn't think the skies could actually look like that
and that artists
were just making it up
were just out-doing themselves. but they were telling the truth all along

speaking of truth, have you ever read
the things they carried, by tim o'brien?

interesting to think of that book today. he is an amazing writer. changed the way
i think about writing and story-telling


(exhales)
now.
i have to go take a drug and/or breath alcohol screening test thing. lovely.
maybe i'll stop at the farmer's market on the way home.

thank you for tuning in to my fabulous and exciting life
I am currently Calm
