hello my dears. i'm missing you and apologize for not being around much to check in on your lives. this is a big transition time for me, and i'm definitely still in the middle of it. also, what with the disaster in louisiana and famine and drought in africa, my emotional energy has been redirected towards those in need. i'm sure you all can relate...i...

I am paying attention and my house could use a good once over!
davel:
yes we're still on for tomorrow!
we've got cats, so i'm not sure what we could do with fuzznuts. he could hang out in my backyard, but he'd be all by himself.

my brain is currently being squeezed by the sheer reality of going to grad school (orientation was today, classes start in a week). or rather, the sheer reality of entering a program that i feel iffy about, at best, and knowing that if i follow through,...

i really think that whatever you do, you are going to do great. i know i don't know you well, but i am pretty close to someone who knows you and from what i hear and from what i gather from reading your journal and corresponding with you...you have an amazing soul, you're a good person and you have alot of talents and things to offer the world. everyone is afraid. but what if we only live once? i truly believe everyone should follow their heart in everything they do.
whatever you do will be the right thing. it has to be.

we're experiencing technical difficulties....

The best thing I've done this summer was to buy myself a kayak and go out and play on the bay up here. I haven't done it nearly enough as free time has become too scarce, but hopefully I shall be out again soon. As to company, sure, providing you felt like driving up to the Canadian border and hanging a left just before crossing just to play in the water.

The best thing I've done this summer is enroll my niece into the summer camp near my job. She loves the camp and since its so close I often pick her up after school where we walk hand in hand while she tells me about her day. Then we go home and I show her how to cook dinner while she chats about whatever pops in her mind. There is nothing better than children and family 

i want that option of calling "do over", like we're playing four square, or tetherball.
when i was 5 or 6, i had a friend that lived down the road. it's funny now...i don't even remember her name, or which of the girls in our several mile rural neighborhood she was. but she had this trick that she would use when we were playing, if...

the only constant is change. you can only continue to live and hope that it's the right path for you. requesting change is like requesting forgiveness, it can only be givin not demanded.
things come around and you will continue to be your best. I'm confident in this
thinking of you

the hardest part of holding on, is letting go. 

when you think of the perfect love relationship, what do you imagine yourself experiencing?
i used to equate the kind of love i was looking for with the sensation of deep passion, connection, intensity. i thought this is what i would find, and desire, in a soulmate. like the line in a postal service song, "...waiting for a love that would look and sound...

Now I saw that set, great one, looked very similar to my snake, Eris
cast:
Seriously. The one thing I picture, when I imagine a worthwhile relationship, is someone who will truly comfort me. On an elemental level, I want a friendship like the hound dogs in Where the Red Fern Grows.
so the other night, i saw another raccoon. not nearly as thick headed as i used to be, i immediately took note that i'm supposed to be learning something here. sometimes you just see animals, like the pigeons you passed, and ignored, on your way to work this morning. and then other times, the absurdity of their appearance in your life forces you to take...

When I think of raccoons I think of purification. They dig in trash and yet they wash what they eat.
My most unusual sit was doing outside meditation at night with bats flying by my nose.

I lost my purse over the weekend, and it had your phone number in it, among other things. So call me or message me and send it my way.
groggy and fuzzy headed, my dreams were penetrated by the oddest bird songs this morning. weaving themselves into my dreams as visions of parrots, blue footed boobies, or the extinct dodo, it was a good half hour before i really started to register the sounds. insistent trills, made by at least two birds, now soft, now loud and angry. hmmm..fighting parrots? as the dream state...

May I ask if my pic was in the Chron, too? I was interviewed for the article, but since he said it was coming out on Thurs., I didn't buy one on Wed.
