i'm feeling like a girl in an orange dress with lace up boots tonight. feeling like i'd like to tuck my hair behind my ear. feeling a little slouchy. not too driven, not sure what to do next. thinking that i don't even have anything to think about. and then. i remember that i chose my orange dress today. and i laced my boots all the way up. and i even tied double knots. and that whenever i tuck my hair behind my ear, i can smell the best smell in the world (my pillow). so, then, thinking.... maybe i'm ready to take another step into my day. maybe i'm ready to hear the click of my boot heels on the pavement. maybe, just maybe, if i look up, i might notice the zillions of colors and sights and smells surrounding me. then, i'd be really glad i chose my orange dress today. then, i'd remember the breeze tickling my neck. then, i'd remember the sun on my back. then i'd know i'm ready to take another step. into today.
swirls have always fascinated me. and i'm just noticing that i always think of them as swirling in an outward direction. and yet, i think i usually use them to focus my thoughts (and feelings) inwards. i have some of these begonias in my classroom. do you know about begonias? you can clip off a leaf, and stick them in a glass of water, and roots will just begin to stretch out. here comes a question:
are your roots being watered right now?
there are so many stars flaming, pulsing, firing, dancing just over my head.
i feel like a whirling dervish.
spinning in ecstacy. arms spread wide.
the world is on fire tonight.
life. flaming. pulsing. firing. dancing.
just over my head.
