Well, Im back from outer space. I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
Dont worry, I wouldnt change that stupid lock or make you leave your key, I take comfort in the fact that I know that you will, in some way, shape, or form, continue to come back to bother me!
Ah, remember the days of disco? That reminds me of a STORY! So, its a few years ago (no, not now, I mean in the story. Dont get all lost this soon or well be here forever.) and Im in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. I have far more stories than this days time will allow me to tell, but this one will do for now For those of you who have never been, I want you to envision this Take 2000 bulls who have not had sex for months (maybe years), starve them, deny them sleep, and then pack them into a long narrow corridor loaded with food, alcohol, the wafting smell of sexual frenzy and about 12 cows Throw in 17 tons of beads and some jambalaya & ba-da-boom, ba-da-bing Mardi Gras!
So, in an effort to escape the frothing rabid mob of frat boys on Bourbon Street (and all streets hitherto accessible), I went a ways over to Decatur Street, where things are a bit more beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. As I walked by this one particular balcony (all of the buildings there have 2 or 3 floors with big balconies out front) which had a beautiful array of hanging plants, they started playing ABBA really loud. (Maybe Dancing Queen or Super Trooper) And my ~DANCE!~ button was suddenly switched on! And for a floating moment in the non-reality of hang time, I danced in the street without a care in the world. When the song ended I stepped off the ride with a giant smile and continued walking on my way to nowhere in particular ready for the next moment of serendipity to find its way into my path.
I have come to realize that it is the woven tapestry of these magic & halcyon moments that serves as the fabric for my superhero costume. And as opposed to the heroes of fable, I wear mine every day. I wish this for you as well, because its a divine and wondrous thing
