An unplacable anxiety
Not sure exactly why. Perhaps a build up of little things. Things unsaid. Beats skipped. The imperfection of my living. Not that it needs to be perfect, but it could be less filled with bugs. So many bugs.
I feel in between, living on the rim of sanctity and refuse. Free of cigarettes, I no longer have to worry about the smell, the cancer, the cognitive dissonance of unhealth. Free of cigarettes,...

Laying on my back in the park on a Tuesday afternoon, I’m completely alone, surrounded by nothing but the grass and the trees and the small daisy flowers and the tiny bugs.
The azalea flowers are in full bloom, I noticed, on my bike ride here. That has to be one of my favorite things—azalea bushes—they’re everywhere around here, especially along the saint streets, where I...

"Thou knowest I am blind," said the angel,
“because mine eyes still retain the light of the Lord’s glory, I can perceive nothing else.” - Paulo Coelho
Spiritual progress is such a strange concept. I have been reading more and more about the eight limbs of yoga, slowly gaining a deeper understanding of what it is to sustain a spiritual practice. In yoga teacher training I developed a true spirituality for the first time...
The middle of my not yet so interesting...
I’ve had my share of disappointments, from the outside and the inside. Not being accepted into grad school was one of them, and both of them. I knew I was ready, but was I really? I’ll never know, it’s too late now. I excelled in philosophy as an undergrad. I loved the rush of understanding, the quiet clicking of pieces into places, assembling the puzzle of the world within the...

Outward orientation
I was recently evaluated at my job, as they do every 6 months to distribute raises. First, you must score yourself on various areas of aptitude. Then the manager scores you. 1 needs improvement. 2 meets expectations. 3 exceeds expectations. I tend to give myself a lot of 3s. I’m exceedingly accurate, I always put the customer first, I work harder than most of the people there.
But then...
A flock of baby love bugs
Or something more sinister
They haven’t their orange parts yet
Fly slow, so I know you won’t sting me
Fly low, so I know that you’re with me
When the wind blows, you don’t have to steer
When the wind chimes, you don’t have to hear
Oh how I used to pull you apart!
Sparkling breath, you’re already shiny on the inside
Sun...
Oh, nothing.
Living it
No Internet for the next 2 weeks. It’s really weird. I only use my laptop to charge my phone. I need more wii games.
My new home has a lot of character. What I like most about it is that it has a real shower. Second most: washer and dryer. Third: the way it’s segmented but connected. The rooms are connected in such a way that I can travel in a circle around the areas I use most. And...

Wreck
Crazy. Crazy. You know how often I use the word “crazy” every day? Everything’s crazy to me. But I’m okay with crazy.
Then something really crazy happens. Like, not okay crazy. But now that word is hollow and can’t express this new crazy thing.
*Le driving home from work* Thinking about my yogurt parfait and just cuddling with Cory. Maybe watch some Battlestar...
