connected.
grateful to have had my 2nd vax dose
knowing it’s not just to keep me well
but to give all who i may cross paths with
a better chance to stay well too.

dark side of the moon.
sitting
in total darkness
absolute silence
very slowly
one by one
notes
chords
pinpoints of light
pierced the air
sitting in my seat
48 years ago
in detroit
pink floyd
unfolded their new album
dark side of the moon
right before my eyes and ears
in real time
playing full out
the crowd
mesmerized
just taking it all in
vibrating
then roaring in appreciation
one of my most memorable live concert experiences ever.

48 years ago Pink Floyd released Dark Side of the Moon.
It remained in the US charts from 1973 to 1988, longer than any other album in history.

if this is the day, here’s what can help
the brand new disco, glitter, chocolate chips
this hit all the sweet spots for me
a holy trinity of sins.

say my name.
i recently made a new recipe
and
finally used my worcestershire sauce!
like finding an old friend
nothing had really changed
still can’t pronounce your name
still in that familiar bottle
how nice to bump into you
so long until i see you again
whenever that might be.

book fairies.
how sweet to find this book
sitting outside on the window ledge of a downtown store
on a sunny saturday
just waiting for someone
to pick it up and take it home to read.
gratitude to the book fairies.
