CURRENT MOON lunar phases
poetics, scratchy voices, the sound of fingers pickin' strings, drums, cats' meows, rainbows on cloudy days, live oaks covered in spanish moss, smoke from campfires (white rabbit, white rabbit), mp3 players, perspectives, soft rain, hand painted road signs, little-known histories, late night conversations, pretties that shine, rivers that twist, the difference between aligators and crocodiles, your moment of zen, yoga, stuff that transforms, textures and patterns, funky driftwood, rocks and stones, hand-rolled tibetan incense, flowering trees, clean corners, dusty alleys, old pictures, stolen moments, the smell of good food cooking, free food in the woods, full moons, loooong festival weekends, music floating 'round trees
