In lay terms, this means that one of my very good dear
wonderful friends is moving into her very first on-her-own apartment.
I wish her all the best of moving vibes, from good weather to
good-humored and prompt moving helpers to good pizza and good sleep.

Friends, I find me in a deeply
dangerous situation.
The wind moves. The keyboard is warm
and welcomes use. A blank page: unused file space. What delicious
adventure.
The world is filled with broken tree
limbs, gardens filled with clay, air still as algae, the body made of
sweat at the very edge of a heavy terrible headache. Summer becomes.
Sleep may be a dream tonight, waiting

Writing again has got me thinking. And
thinking gets me writing. Well, thinking about traveling in cars gets
me thinking more and then there are words but most of them come out
kind of like bursts of memory because what I think about are the
images that I keep on quick-recall not the ones that I’ve got
attached to the pictures from that one trip, or a different trip; the

Darkness and boxes filled with stories and cards and the cool warmth of some unknown lover's skin and it took me a while to remember.
These are dreams that have slept for a couple of years. Perhaps they were waiting; perhaps there was no room for them; perhaps I simply did not remember and they left no mark on a moving soul.

I’ve not been to work for three days.
I’ve not stepped on public transport for that long, either,
although I did buy my March bus pass, but that’s not even close to
being the same thing. My laundry is done, my fridge is cleaned out,
although it is not clean and there’s been some sweeping around the
place that pleases me.

Yet again, it is Lent.
For someone who is not a member of any
Abrahamic religion (a book person who is not one of any of the People
of the Book, go figure), I take this pretty seriously. Actually, I
take it pretty seriously even for one of the faithful. There is no
dogma between me and my reading of similar experiences in the lives
of four of the most profound religious leaders of human Sarah EJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10522997882695306720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24417106.post-4201579284911623012011-11-03T19:57:00.000-05:002011-11-03T19:57:08.090-05:00Don't get around much anymore...It is November.
Instead of moving, I'm finishing NaNoWriMo.
That's where I'll be.
Or on Twitter.
Or at my new job.
Which I don't start until the 14th, so am not jinxing with actual posts and info and whatnot.
There's a ton that I want to write about and hone and make concise and keep wandery and surreal and filled with links and staggered with images, but that will have to wait.

Mostly because I've got things to do and there's just not enough space to make time at every moment for everything that I'd like to get done, but there is definitely time for all of it.
Working again, so fun with scheduling and availability and reading and watching the television and having lunch - did I mention lunch? Lunch is of good.
