I’m not missing you
I sit here on my throne trying to contemplate how I will endure two hours away from you and realize I must endure two months plus and therein lies my next obstacle to overcome. How can I possibly be without you?

A blood red lunar eclipse
There was a total lunar eclipse last night but T and I walked out on the porch when mom called to tell me and couldn’t see it. We decided one can’t see an eclipse. But today I read it made the moon blood red – how gorgeous is that – a red moon – so rare. The next lunar eclipse comes in December 2010.

Not monkeying around in the blog
I don’t want to parrot youI don’t want to monkey see monkey doI don’t want to mockI simply want to delight in how different and similar we are in the same breath – a breath so close I’m not sure if I smell you or me or the alchemy.

Mi querida novia sends me enchanting poems
CASIDA DE LA ROSA -Federico García Lorca La rosa no buscaba la aurora: casi eterna en su ramo, buscaba otra cosa. La rosa, no buscaba ni ciencia ni sombra: confín de carne y sueño, buscaba otra cosa. La rosa, no buscaba la rosa. Inmóvil por el cielo buscaba otra cosa.

What age makes you wonder
In this budding relationship we reflect on our friends who are in the throes of the ten-year mark – they can’t get back to where we are, but they have so much of what you hope to be – can they have faith they can keep moving forward? We hope so. What keeps you in a relationship once the bud has bloomed and bloomed – it’s why I love peonies – so many petals to…

Is it raining where you are?
We woke up to pouring rain – no walks in the park, and quick dashes to the backyard by the dogs (who hate to be wet). Up here in the tower working, with the pouring rain, I wonder about my colleagues – in Poland, Germany, UK, Chicago, and California – we speak to each other via IM, Skype, telephone, cell phone, email but don’t have the shared experience of rain, sunshine, cold, hot. It’s snowing…

An overexposed world
The sky is greyed over with cotton ball clouds giving the light this overexposed effect, sort of sepia without the brown tone. Walking through the park this morning everything had that sense of existing within an old time photograph. As we were midway into the park, I saw a leafless tree with seven ink black cormorants perched on the branches, their ropey necks slung low giving them a snake-like appearance even out of the water.…

This is where the chorus comes in and the refrain is “nirvana”
My friend who just weeks ago admonished me with “carpe diem” warns me I’m “moving too fast” – my other friend leaves me a message to call him because he wants to speak to a woman in love since I’m the only one he knows who is – another friend sends me an email and says, glad you are having fun, but don’t forget to blog for the rest of us – yet another says…

How I see you
We spoke the other night about not seeing each other – about being at a party together and you seeing my three friends and not me, in Puerto Rico marching in a crowd, at Swirl amongst all our mutual friends, and all around this small tiny town New Orleans – yet not ever seeing each other – then on Tuesday, a fortnight ago, in the midst of a sumptuous feast for our eyes – a…
