29 years in a row!
today is Jess's birthday!
yay!!!!.
having a special somebody to span my time with is pretty great.
special day, special lady (actually, ladies)
i am humbled by the life i have been allowed....seriously.
valuable beyond money.
worthy of being shared.
i remain grateful.
and speakin' of pretty great:
sparklers, ninjas.
never not dope.
shadows and light.
i'm sayin'.
SO many mushrooms....
really,
every day it rains, and every day a new batch of smurf huts spring up...
like one-day only top-secret explosions......
especially since a day after they show up,
slugs, bugs, dogs, toads,
and the sun all help turn them into slick black smears....
enjoy the moment, ya'll.
a stone mosaic of my hand on the sandy shores of the saco.
a temporary testament to tactility.
with an 'indiana jones'-flavored secret circle stick, too.....
another 'nother berserker barbarian medicine mobile.
this one started wth a straight-from-outta-the-river L-shaped stick, yo.
it was beggin' to become a woodsly charmer.
i listened.
that's what warrior poets do...
lessons from nature:
i hold transformation in the palm of my hands....
tadpoles.
c'mon,
change for the better,
from the limits of lakes to the loveliness of land,
and the bountiful beautiful boons brought by both.
eggs become tadpoles become polywogs become frogs.
progress. change. evolution.
from not much to quite a bit, by design.
inexorable inescapable growth.
whether you like it or not;
the secret universal plan is hard at work,
add a fresh-baked batch of just-be-dopeness,
and the next thing you know,
limits are lost,
options are more numerous,
and you're the lord and master of life's lilypads.
how's THAT for a birthday wish?
we made birthday party cupcakes,
and we sparkled into the dark.
light-bringers, one and all.
spirit and memory.
ghost circles,
less smoky, and sometimes brighter.
but without question
never quiet, never soft...
