my love bacons! how i have missed thee

the boy is back on tour, therefore no more computer stealing.
explaining my lack of activity around these parts.

since the library doesn't believe in ass and titties i made my way across town to my favorite coffee shop for java and uncensored computer access. i only had enough change for 30 minutes..so i'll probably be ramblin' ramblin' ramblin about whatever pops into my head fast as lightning..

but you don't mind, right?

speaking of lightning, was taking a leisurely afternoon stroll last week with a dear friend of mine and she pointed out a rather incredible tree in the graveyard i often wander. branches like streaks of lightning!

every time i walk past now i linger for a moment or two.

what if the lightning struck and the tree turned it instantly into a branch?

silly of course, but that is just how it appears.

i often face the moronic question from, well, morons, from who i could expect nothing more:
"is that just a tree?"

just a tree?!
have you ever really contemplated a tree?
(mind blowing)
to really break it down:

have you ever BREATHED?
(well you wouldn't without trees, bitch.)

i never cease to walk by the largest and craziest
or the most frail
and think of how
spiders spin magnificent webs
birds perch and nest
monkeys swing
worms crawl
caterpillars become butterflies
gorillas meditate
humans read and rest
moss grows
leaves live and rustle and die and fall
snow clings
ice freezes
branches break
lightning strikes
rain falls
sun shines
(how many visions in clouds have you seen?)
children climb and build
and you endure
you reach towards the open sky
you know what is and is not
you have seen the evolution of the world
the death of your world that humans have created
and you endure
for all else
for your beautiful earth
and all of its creatures
who should live in harmony without fear before your unwavering trunk full of secrets
the greatest wisdom and compassion of all time rests soundly in your roots
they grasp the earth
you open one-hundred and seven arms to the sky
and sway beautifully in peace that never falters.



well, enough about all that.

nothing too crazy has been going on. hibernating as the winter carries on. loving it.
coffee, books (most recent reads: voltaire's candid, bukowski's post office, rebecca skloots the immortal life of henrietta lacks), yoga, tunes (lots of neurosis, radiohead, and dizzy gillespie). eating lots of grilled cheeses with tomato soups. coffee coffee. some drinks. some snail mailin. some lovin. some travel plannin. some doodlin.



ahh only five minutes left on my computer so i must ramble on and sing my song.

leaving monday for a road trip to new orleans and texas. so stoked.
