"thirst drove me down to the water where I drank the moon's reflection"...
-Rumi..
Layout by CoolChaseri have an inner-ear tuned toward solitude - which is annoying to my acquaintances and understandable to my friends and family... the paradox is that i enjoy having contact with people, they just usually wear me out... i often find the most pleasurable conversations are done in silence... i have been diagnosed as a social creature who prefers to be alone (all-one?)... Wind, Trees and Clouds are all admirable non-verbal poets... ditto rivers and oceans... dogs are my favorite companions (trustworthy, funny, present, affectionate, and they don't care what i'm wearing or how my hair looks), though i'm still hopeful for humans...
*Simple Pleasures* Morning coffee. Winter. Watching dogs argue. Good food (local, organic) prepared with love and good company. Music that doesn't force me to feel something. Violent Weather. Music that transports me on its own merits. Walking with my dog in the moon-light, the rain, the woods, the creek, the park when he doesn't yank me around chasing squirrels, the morning, the mist, etc... Watching a spider spin a web. Inspiring causes and people (see www.2dogs2000miles.org). Confidence is a pleasurable trait in a mate. Know-it-all-ness is unfriendly. Fire - from the gathering to the lighting, the burning, the smoking, the warming, the illuminating of dark places to the smoldering coals in the morning for boiling water for coffee. When my friend Roen calls me at 6:00AM and screeches into the phone 'Git up!' for a pre-dawn dog romp! Sunday mornings with coffee and Natalie on the porch blabbing about everything under the sun. Harlow, my best friend in the whole world who passed out of this existence and into the next but is still encouraging me, loving me, and sniffing out danger for me as always...
