Lumen

I walked in to work like happy little sunbeam today. I was coming off of a wonderful weekend - relaxing, pleasant and warm - and had decided to approach Monday with an energy. It lasted like 15 mins. As usual, things had broken over the weekend and were waiting patiently for me when I got back on Monday. Much stress was encountered. And then this evening, determined to run in spite of the heavy traffic on the treadmills at the gym, I came home, changed quickly and went out to run on the warmest day in a month or so. Only to find that the bitter wind made my ears cry within a mile and a half.I soldiered on, regardless, but pain was encountered is all I am saying.

On that note, A Mid Winter Day's Dream :

Snows melting,
sun shining,
birds babbling,
outside my window
as I'm pleasantly dreaming
of spring coming.

Blooms planting,
temps rising,
days lengthening
in my warm thoughts
as I dream
of spring coming.

But,
daylight fading,
cold winds blowing,
gray clouds gathering
outside my window
as I foolishly dream
of spring coming.

So there you have it. Cold winds will blow. Monkey wrenches will be bunged in the works. Life will go up, down and all around. The bad times won't wait for the good weather to be over. Everything will happen all at once and suddenly days will slow down to a crawl. But we shall persist. And I think I'm getting my smile back :-)

And so to bed.

Metronome

I'm chasing after you in the gathering dusk, you're racing far ahead, fading into the sunset. Can't catch up to you, can't hold on to you, always looking back, wondering when I first lost you. And this sand in the hour glass, it's rushing fast. This river of continuum, it gushes past. The clock unwinds, the moon tugs the tides, while I'm caught in between what was and will be. So I'm letting go, I'm tired of the chase I'll find some peace in this moment's embrace. Just take my hand in yours, let's run to the daybreak and burst into this life, finally awake. Finis

fractious

It's been a good set of days. The week itself was fun, what with hanging out with folks on Wed - and before I forget, here's a shout out to "S" and "Y" for reading/pretending to read by blog and requesting to star in it ;-) - and watching "Up" the next day with the usual gang (awesome movie!). P was flying in on Friday and a few hours before his departure from O, it was decided that we would attempt to hike up Mt.Washington. As usual it was a slightly imbalanced plan. Late Friday night, I set out to pick him up from the hour-away airport. Somehow this turned into a road trip for 3 of my concerned friends. Suffice to say that there were bad jokes a plenty and some rather interesting conversation. Randomness abounds in my life. Anyways, it was around 2 am by the time we crashed and I actually managed to be up by 6.30 am the next morning. By 8.30 we were showered, breakfasted and packed and P was armed with enough stuff to survive a hurricane and live

lynchpin

It happened! The first celebrity sighting in a long long time. Obama and his daughters. They were at my place and I was figuring out their sleeping arrangements along with my brother and sis-in-law. OK, so you must know that this was in my dream. I must say it's one of the wackiest dreams I've ever had. I was stressing out last night on the whole iPhone vs Blackberry Storm before I went to bed and so it follows that early this morning I dreamt that Mr.O and his daughters were visiting me, my bro and my s-i-l. It was funny. There we were, 3 hosts and 3 guests and we had this one room where I was trying to arrange all the beds and sleeping bags so everyone could sleep comfortably. My sister in law was fretting about making sure every one was comfortered and my bro was a little sleepy and grumpy and I just wanted them all to settle down and go to sleep. The biggest problem somehow was where Aliana (that was his younger daughter's name in the dream) would sleep - not sure why.
