what a lovely few days i've been having. i'm almost afraid to say that. :)
the labyrinth walk was really wonderful. i got to a state which was like the point between sleeping and waking, blind and aware all at once. afterwards i drove deeper into the poway darkness to look at stars and was surprised by a smoking streak of a shooting star burning through the big dipper.
today the orientation went well, and then i took the calligraphy piece to be framed at the grand galleria. then i stopped by terrilynn's to talk for a bit in her garden and came away with a milk jug full of flowers (now looking cheerful in my bedroom) and a very mild sunburn. i drove home through elfin forest and took a little side trip on questhaven, which construction has diverted onto san elijo. but until it reaches san elijo, it's a charming twistycurvyhillyhiddenlonely road which is dirt for a while. it becomes san elijo at the top of a hill, and as i turned onto it i was dazzled by a large expanse of far-off ocean and the silence of balloons rising in the distance.
and i forgot what a good album tears for fears' elemental was.
the only sadness is that i wanted a chicago dog & chili cheese fries, but cupid's was closed. oh, well. :)
