I always know that its summer if I can feel the cold only slightly in my toes. Not all the way up my legs, just on the tips of my toes.
I wish it would rain again, its been fairly dry for several days and I feel so much more grounded and purposeful when it rains, like when its dry for too long I feel like I'm so light I'll fly away, the air loses its refreshing dampness almost.
I want to stay in town again, to ride my japanese made thirty year old cruiser around the street in the wee hours of the sandpoint morning. I haven't seen dew yet this year as I've taken to sleeping VERY late.
Rain's catharthic, dunno, I was talking to kathryn a few days ago and the only way I could describe rain was that it felt like my entire body was crying and how liberating that felt for me as I swear my tear ducts were removed or disabled or something of the sort. I'm not unemotional, I've just been trained that my emotions will probably be used against me if I let them show through, or worse yet, cause someone to worry or ask what's wrong.
I want to stay up all night long and stargaze, but I have work tommorow and I don't know if I could deal with being exhausted and emotinally upside down, inside out, backwards at the same time.
I suppose I'll go to sleep after this CD ends. or maybe not, maybe I'll pick up a paintbrush for the first time in a long while, perhaps I'll pick up some wayward clippings and peice them together. or perhaps this CD will never end, it feels like summer, because this is what summer is, my toes slightly chilly, my hads warm because of the tea I'm drinking, headphones in, bathed in cold bluish computer light until I go lay on my deck and think about morning and sun and people and anxious waiting for something that never happens, or happens and then just barely whets my hunger for whatever the hell it is I'm wasting my time chasing for breif moments of peace.
my house is so near the highway and train tracks I'm not even bothered by the noise, its just always been there, sometimes I wonder where the people in the cars are going, why they're going there, their general life story etc. People facinate me, all of them. there's so much diversity, contradiction, experience, knowledge, wisdom, history even in just one person, I don't understand how we can't realize that and stop for just one second every day and think about it, contemplate how fucking complex we are, how much potential we have, how, jesus, I don't even know how to express the enormity of how that concept could effect us.
I get too stuck in the moment, the fun I could be having, the experiences, people, places I could know, I spend too much of my time wanting, chasing those things and not realizing that I'm having experiences, meeting people, going places, I never slow down long enough to digest all of what I've seen, I'm so intent on taking in as much as I can. Quality gets lost in quantity. I might go bury my feet in the sand in a few hours and watch the sun rise. It'd be nice. I nver really do anything alone.
