Everything's Groovy...

I had lightning on my nails and a smile on my face.

Feeling the memories fly by me,

like walking through a fog.

Sitting in a hotel room, talking and laughing.

Tossing a ball back and forth with dangerous

disregard for windows and lamps.

It's always in those early hours.

When words flew through our lips like water,

secrets came and went with the minutes,

smiles stretched for days, and city sounds crept through our senses.

It's always in those early hours,

the truth looks different.

Clear and raw in moonlight,

and we all saw it.

Four souls on the brink of exhaustion,

held each other...together.

A weekend...

worth remembering if I only could.

Memory's that splotch through time and space and reek of hard liquid spilling down my throat.  Laughter, the language of the gods indeed, flying through the green painted air.

The touch that warms, the smile that brightens.

The sky that darkens on a long day well spent.

A weekend filled to the brim, overflowing.

A weekend worth remembering if I only could.

Reflections on Watching Planet Earth

There is honestly nothing better than watching the BBC series Planet Earth and I will defend that statement to the death.  Seriously, the makers of that show just got it right.  Nothing is more beautiful, more humbling, more astounding, or more awe inspiring than the beauty of the natural world.  In concordance with this is the fact that nothing is more freakin awesome than the coolness of the natural world! Animals, have you seen what they can do while still being completely adorable, smart, and just damn awesome?  I would recommend watching Planet Earth anytime, dinner, literally anytime.  It is always appropriate and provides answers to many of life's problems. In conclusion, watch planet earth cause the world is just awesome!

The Earth is Just Awesome

He hated to have to say to her what he knew must be said.  Loathing every muscle of his lips for forming the venom coated syllables.  To kill the hope in someone's eyes is truly a horrible thing.  Her eyebrows raised slightly with a sharp intake of breath as her mind was assaulted by the weight of idealism's swift exodus.  She looked at that moment both old and young.  Her back slumped forward the slightest bit as the breath long held captive is released up to heaven, as if all ignorance was flying out of her with that sigh like sound.  After those seconds the body begins to adapt to the new weight.  Cruel evolution which causes the eye to keep seeing, the ear to keep hearing, the hand to reach out, and the heart to beat.

Are you swishing?

There is really nothing quite like the satisfaction of a day well spent.  A day without waste, a day that has been filled up with real thought, movement and art.  All I've really got going for myself today is the completeness that can be gleaned from a piping hot mug of tea, I've plugged out of consciousness and plugged in my large metallic headphones (very space age, and straight outta tron)  I put on a little jazzy something and I'm gone.
