    Found space
    I google me, and find this journal from years back. Hi again.

    Sunlight polishing small flower faces, imbuing the walkways with a sparkle of joy. I'm lazy happy tired today.

    Boris of course rules. Why shouldn't he.

    take the chance
    mice visiting at night
    the flower petals sheltering crickets
    no landlord to rely on
    and a driveway to shovel

    rain on the roof
    damp basement
    renovating tiles and carpets and rooms
    security monsters

    not alone but still perhaps lonely
    in computer screen
    in visitors
    in opportunity

    in comfort
    maybe some happiness
    and an escape clause
    while my lawyers just laugh at me

    for they should know

    the mirror
    so i looked at myself in the mirror this morning in my imagination
    i see the little girl with grey hair
    i see childhood fears wrapped in carefully gathered wisdom
    the mirror colours the reflections
    i look happier but less healthy then i really am
    and others reflect too
    because life is hard to do unless you're enjoying it
    the puzzle is that its only enjoyable if
  • you don't notice yourself
  • you impress yourself when you do notice (and you're not lying)
  • for that one moment something extraordinary happens and you forget everything
    i like for the second two

    who am i anyway

  • an accumulation of my acheivements
  • a presence in the world others expect to see
  • a measured set of skills and abilities (what's the difference between these)

    is that it?

    a spiritual pursuit (right answer, says the going cred, but i don't bother. where would i look?)

    at myself.

    tensor
    there were tight white bands wrapped around the branches
    small bells tied to each one
    they'd ring as the wind swept through the barren dusty land
    heroes forgotten

    depth
    veined wings lift a voice dictating
    a song of love ode to life
    drift along terse wording flying
    a young person's heart
    in my dream

    winding
    breathe in and look up the long flight of stairs
    each step glistening elevation
    breathe out and start running upwards faster
    view modifies crowns below still more feet
    breathe in sharply out 5 flights 6
    a dog on the step sleeping jump over don't trip
    breathing accomplishment chest heaving
    curl legs around rest elbows sitting on the ground
    above building tops trees the street far below
    find a seat

    (going to see a movie at the paramount)

    crav
    i suppose cravings just wonder through the nervous system
    like frogs in a pond, here and there.
    or the feathers on a bird, ruffled but orderly
    or they might be like the wisps of clouds floating in the breeze overhead
    or like your rusty honda's horn honking in traffic:
    get out of my way

    i quit quitting after 1 month

    looking up
    sun warmed branches present new lives, beaks open, to the sky (clb)

    I can see them, but with ground tied feet, how do I shed shadows and climb? (ap)

    fly upwards on tiny wings, shadows show only on the ground, as you soar (clb)

    alleys of success
    failure descends down through broken windows in agony

    meeting sidewalks in a rush carrying those striving to climb again

    as weeds between the cracks sprout

    so loose canons grow further opportunity

    verificiation
    there are winds blowing between building alleys
    opening minds and doors of the realm
    we hope and we know more will follow
    as thought becomes action becomes past

    Small furry beginnings
    Been going to the gym for 2 weeks. Curious habit.
