laughter, love (EVERYONE needs a bosom for a pillow!), life. all the important things that don't necessarily being with the letter 'l' (although you can't beat licorice) and tend to get lost in the shuffle: a passing glance here, a free shot there. if i don't know what it all means the first time around, by the fourth or fifth time i’ll definitely be able to tell you about it over sushi.
in a native american parable, the Creator gathers all the animals and says, 'i want to hide something from humans until they are ready for it: the realization that they create their own reality.' 'give it to me. i'll fly it to the moon,' says the eagle. 'no, one day soon they will go there and find it.' 'how about the bottom of the ocean?' asks the salmon. 'no, they will find it there too.' 'i will bury it in the great plains,' says the buffalo. 'they will soon dig and find it there.'
'put it inside them,' says the wise grandmother mole. 'done,' says the Creator. 'it is the last place they will look.'
have you ever sat, barefoot and maybe a little tipsy, in a foreign country or maybe just on your front steps, and watched the sun trace an arc on the deepest blue canvas you've ever seen and known that, whether it's from right next to you or a somewhere a million miles away, the absolute love of your life is watching the exact same sky? i like the music that captures THAT.

for the most part, i'll watch anything. but i don't care who the hero or the drama is, whether it's batman fighting injustice or zach braff seeking love or whatever will be: if it's not honest and true at least in part, i'm not going to be entertained. you might wonder if a movie can be honest and true and also be filled with special effects. i say: you won't know until the final credits, so if you're willing and free, let's get sour patch kids and make bets.
i think lots of people watch television so they won't be lonely. which is fine: if nothing else, it's very noisy and if you close your eyes with the TV on, it's like there's a party going on all around you. HOWEVER: there's not much on most of the time. take a break from the coaxial world just for a bit, and even if you go crawling back, at least you'll have known the real world for a little while.
unless it’s ‘grey’s anatomy'. i could suckle at the tit of that show for hours.
the brilliant thing about books, and writing in general, is that when imagination runs rampant and you're as perfectly attuned as possible to a writer's creative wavelength, you can believe anything. ANYTHING! so from classic pieces of literature or a modern mass market paperbacks and beyond, i cherish those that are portals (however temporary) to other worlds. or even the expanses of worlds i’ve already visited, and just really really like a lot.
almost certainly you yourself, assuming that you're living up to your potential and realizing how much i love you and how much you deserve to be loved. also: yoda.
