picnicking barefoot in my backyard (blackberries!), sustainability studies, revisioning education, climbing trees, the perfect camping site with its own swimming hole, staircases, lying on fallen trees, my magic garden, making my flying dream come true, a new pile of library books, solarizing my house, being outside, dancing in your living room, my windchimes before a storm, re-use, reading other peoples' letters (only when they let me), being alone
someone who loves silence, eating vegetables, giving hand massages or ear rubs, rolling down hills, paying my library fines, or reading to me.
anything from the 80's - esp. new wave -mmm, the divinyls!, old timey bluegrass, al green, the cure, leonard cohen, andrew bird, the buddha machine, cat stevens, old crow medicine show, john prine, talking heads, good soul, bruce springsteen!, any old time rock n' roll, belle and sebastian, the who, the louisville orchestra, erin mckeown, gillian welch, stellar ray, friend mixes
ponette, old yeller, stand by me, il cane blu, muriel's wedding
used to love silver spoons and i'm planning a home video recreation of the facts of life (ooh, like bottle caps candy! - an imitation of an imitation of an imitation!)
morning in the burned house, of human bondage, any organic gardening books, any vegan cookbook, east of eden, where the red fern grows, the egypt game, the education of little tree, a wrinkle in time, silas house, karen warren, vandana shiva, matthew fox, rumi, rilke, and on and on and on...
all my students, worms, soil
