Once Upon A Time...

There were two young women. One lived upstairs, one lived downstairs. One had blond, short messy-straight hair and one had short, brown, crazy curly hair. Once had blue eyes, one brown. One day, the blond, blue-eyed one knocked on the door of the other. "Can I borrow an egg? I'm baking and I need one more egg." The dark haired girl said "of course. c'mon up". They walked upsatirs to the main part of the apartment to get the egg.

They have been best friends ever since.

Scars

aren't scars intersting? or do you find them ugly? I find them fascinating. I have a lot of scars on my body. i have 10 alone on my two legs. they range in size from very large to small, but not tiny. i think i got my first scar when i was about 6 or 7. when i look at my scars, i am not embarassed or shy about them. they are a part of me and show the life i have lived, this far.

do you have scars? like them? hate them? like them on others, but not yourself?

just curious...

this world....

i find myself so disturbed by the events of the world, especially as of late. the "war" is israel/lebanon; the death that happened in our community, all the freaking news i hear every day about someone killing their child, their mother, etc...and then the blow of yesterday...
as i listened to last nights news, the newsman said they are not even sure they caught the whole plan!
I am not angry. I found myself sad and scared, actually. I feel like i want to go hide somewhere. But where, where are we safe?

Maybe Hawaii??? I never hear of bad things in Hawaii. Maybe i ought to check it out.

ak-nelec

this morning, i dripped from thoughts of you
a secret that came leaking out...
i thought to drown myself, but halted

and let it stay as a remembrance of what is true, what is real
if only for a moment, if only for a moment

2 moments

this morning, i caught a bit of sunrise and whenever i do, i am often reminded of a time i spent in thailand/nepal in 1992. i had woken on my final day in bangkok and was waiting for a taxi to take me to the airport. i caught an amazing and beautiful sunrise that morning that i have never forgotten. i was flying home after 2 weeks on the other side of the world! it was a precious moment. after flying home to San Francisco(at the time), i took a taxi home and went to sleep. I woke the next morning very early and went up to my roof with a cup of coffee....to catch the sunrise in San Francisco. It was gorgeous. I was overwhelmed with the fact that i had caught these two beautiful moments in two entirely different places...separated only by space and time.

here's to the moments that make us stop.

Cheers
