LOST

You know whats one of the more aggravating things about obtaining maturity? Missplaced items and memory lapses. You probably know one of my favorite things to nibble on is Lindt bittersweet chocolate in the white wrapper. I sneakily break a piece off to let it melt in my mouth. However sometimes the broken piece is a bit too big. The wonderful thing about it is letting just then right amount melt and linger in your mouth and trickle down your throat. So sometimes when I get too big of a piece I brake it and set the other piece on the counter to eat later. The big problem is that darn granite countertop! Lots of times it hides my piece of chocolate and I can't find it. It makes me feel a bit silly. Sometimes though I get the wonderful surprise when I wipe off the counter, of finding the lost pieces of chocolate. Then I get to put it in my mouth and....well, its very good.

March of the Elephants

The true sign of the upcoming summer surrounded my whole self today like a nice warm fat homemade quilt. I was way out in left field standing there acting like I was playing softball with the YW, YM when the sun started to sink. That's my time of day when the shadows are long and there comes a light, especially when there are some clouds in the sky. There comes a light that always lifts my spirit and whispers of things that are true and real. Then a light breeze passed my senses and I looked around to see the unseen elephants. There must have been many of them because their smell was strong and distinct. I pulled in lots of air so I could smell there coming. They only pass our way for a short time when the seasons change, when the earth comes to life. Yes its spring time in the desert when the Russian Olives dawn their gowns for the big ball.
