so i guess we will go away today after all. we have a sweet little car and a few dollars and some days off and i have a little more energy and lessened anxieties. we will head southish (*not* texas!) but have no plan or expectations. we can stay or come back and go somewhere else instead. but we’ll probably see some mountains. finally last night i had good sleep. with GABA/B6 dreams yet! wheeee!
and yesterday i finally talked to Betsy, after two weeks of not hearing from her. she sounds very happy and rather enchanted with Ireland (and Irish boys. ahem.) and is trying to stay for a while longer after her internship finishes. and i talked to Margaret, who does not sound very happy and my heart aches for her. she is so young to be out in the world already. i have sent her a camera so that she might make pictures again. she is really GOOD. i think having a creative love is one of the most important things for mental health and inner happiness. it can be depended upon when people fail you. but i’m not going on about it now, though i have many thoughts. i have been reading of Ruth Bernhard and i know she can help me figure it all out, too. my philosophies.
now my poet is wandering restlessly, after consuming his energy potion. it’s not even 8am! i don’t like to move fast on weekends. and what are those raindrops doing on the skylight? but i will soon go throw some socks and cameras into a bag and get my hiking boots. onward.
