thoughts in my head now:

• been up too late the past few nights, should sleep now
• doing chuy's with the workers for the hour o happy
• it was so good to talk to and make plans with 2 friends I don't see enough
• it's humid in here, need to turn ac back on
• people don't take chances enough -- with their emotions. they use ambiguous statements, they live and abide by fear.

fear can take your fate away if you let it

Randoms:

• bike=stolen
• have a temporary roommate and haven't had a 'roommate' before. The kind that simply lives in the same place but no intimacy occurs.
• father is coming to visit in 2 weeks!
• still feeling stable and I like it
• T gets her license this Tuesday (now that is just wrong)
• i get some bizarre satisfaction when I hike through difficult territory
• I need to get a scholarship and all of the funding I possibly can because...well, yes...I want to go back to school. WTF I know...either PhD, Biology or Zoology.

• Am doing home improvements. It's satisfying to see the finished product. Like mowing the grass.

 that's all for now....

blu holes, renee, berries & hooooo's

Someone I care for is in a blu hole.

Renee (The PR) and I certainly have some strange connection.

It's becoming blackberry season.

Yesterday I saw four owls.

:-)

of randoms and species

beautiful day, kayaked for 3 hours and spent some time with some lovely creatures...gah...gorgeous! Today's species consisted of:

tri-colored herons
cattle egrets
yellow crowned night herons
teesy tiny red ear slider turtles (serious - they were the size of a quarter)
black capped chickadees
great egret
immature great blue herons
teensy tiny ducklings all over the place

Unfortunately NO snakes which I was rather surprised at...I've been seeing lots of them lately but none today.
Oh I did see a Nutria sleeping.

Randoms:
I think my heart is purer that the average heart. I'm discovering this little discovery to continue to prove true. It's a double-edged sword of course but I'd rather it be this way.

Because I am this way it's difficult in the relationship world sometimes but again, I'd rather have it than be full of bitterness in midlife

today while kayaking i talked a lot to the creatures, myself and any other thing around then wondered how many other people do this and concluded that probably not many at all. it's ok, at least I wasn't the guy with the ipod on, singing loudly while kayaking. (technology and nature...it's oil and water man)

pics upload need to me

minnesota

there is no screen or filler
just simply this invisible key we pass back and forth

unlock my remembrance
those joy bubbles pop pop pop

unlock your ballooned boy-heart
to float up up up
to a soft rainbowed sky straight to your color

sound?

safe.

random stumble onto...a little poem

Father,

We are the most disgusting.

We are the most whole with the most holes. We are artists in the sky, you and I.

We love with an intensity that words cannot define.

Tonight I painted the earth with my eyes.

 

Our souls glow in black worlds.

 

I didn’t belong here.

You made me.

I am a symbol. We suffer a circle.

I am gifted.

You are light.

Fellow rainbow, you are aerial.

 

 I am a trapped child or a broken woman.

 

I am too much .

 

I carry the cross you both carved for me out of marble.

It cannot ignite.

 

I weep for you, empty handed and still.

I sit on your dark street corner. It says your name.

I wait and wait.

 It says your name.

coastal wildlife time
spring is gorgeous on the coast if you like the water and non-human creatures who live in or by it. kayaking beside that last guy was interesting. His teeth are enormous.  (and orange) poor guy.
