apricity.
I love that feeling
of getting in the car
after a long day
closing the door
absorbing the warmth of the sun
slowly relaxing and melting into the seat.

apricity – the warmth of the sun in the winter.

content.
while spending the better part of a morning
at the salon
and at the having my hair washed stage
a woman I’ve never met
hair in foil for highlights
wrapped in a black robe
walked up
and stood before me pointing
then proclaiming,
to the entire salon:
“now here is a woman who is contented and relaxed,
taking 10 minutes, all for herself!”
something about my demeanor
must have given me away
for she was spot on.

each other.
“people fail to get along because they fear each other;
they fear each other because they don’t know each other;
they don’t know each other
because they have not communicated with each other.”

calm in the storm.
windows open
to the breezy rain
stormy waters rolling onto shore
and i’m soon to be
sleeping by a dock in the bay.
