...just another girl who costarred?

they're gonna cry like you were spilled milk.

sometimes word of the day is more poignant than cainer...

Out in the harbor, boats are gridlocked: who knows how they got there, or how they will get away? The filthy water is barely visible in the interstices of smokestack, hull, and sail.

The raw material from which the Cote d'Azur was conjured was a narrow strip of seaside, no more than 125 miles long, a brief but brilliantly illuminated interstice between the Mediterranean and three mountain ranges.
--Angeline Goreau, "A Sunny Place for Shady People," [2]New York Times, April 24, 1994

Interstice is from Late Latin interstitium, "a pause, an interval," from Latin intersistere, "to stand still in the middle of something," from inter, "between" + sistere, "to cause to stand."

i'm watching "what dreams may come." i love this film. a lot of people didn't like it, including most people i know. i loved it for the story of people trascending time and places, circumstances and life and death. i love the color. i love the italian alps. i love the sacrifices made in the name of love.

ironically, someone in my life has made very fitting comments to me about how the prettiness of thoughts matter little, and how acting on those thoughts and ideas, are what matters in the end. he taught me that spirituality can be something completely different than what i was taught. unfortunately i cannot continue a relationship with this person, but i feel that the experience of him and us will last me a lifetime.

the older i get, the less i know what love is and how it's supposed to feel...i've lost feeling these days.

joseph sent me some of my favorite poems of his, "canyon mouth" and as of late, "milk tie," one of his best works, a poem completely in fresh, creative, imagistic and intense (in the spirit of joseph) couplets. he's so talented and yet he's become sorta cheap to me. i wonder what that's about.

speaking of blowout fights, i had one today although it was more of an implosion. i'm waiting for sensation to return.

let time do its thing...

i'm going to phoenix this weekend, excited at the prospect of being in the sky again. i always look forward to plane rides, until i'm riding them.

with the return of a somewhat long lost love, i have been overly nostalgaic lately, looking at old high school workshop remnants and seeing what part of me then is still with me today. it's been terribly eye opening and mind blowing at the same time. if i'm not careful, i might mistake the past for the answer.

in lighter news, i am trying to teach myself to breakdance...

good luck to the "waiting for your words" poets on their reading this weekend, so sad i can't be a part of it, but also ecstatic that i will be surrounded by my sisters all weekend.

wisdom comes from experience, not from what people tell you or what you've read...

bout to give this girl a shout

>>back in the day>>
>>i'm not a kid anymore>>
>>but somedays i sit & wish i was a kid again>>
