“The breeze from the trees made me feel alive,” he said almost dreamily. He had spent the summer alone in the cold mountains with the bears and was longing to be back in that world. “I would sit on a rock for hours as the animals came and went, deciding whether or not they would accept me into their universe. They usually let me in,” he sighed.

“I open my windows when I’m stuck in traffic so I can feel closer to people,” she replied. “It makes me feel comforted.”

He wondered if there was a similarity to their desires and continued eating his soup.

Woke up to a cool breeze drifting through my windows. Hiding from the chill under my thick blanket felt wonderfully cozy, though I knew I had to wake up. Redeeming quality of having to wake up early – it’s Friday. Ahhh. At long last.

Had a great drive to work, listening to Polyphonic Spree (can’t not smile when listening to that) and catching an interview with a German filmmaker Werner Herzog, quite an interesting guy, who has a new film about a man who lives up in Alaska with the grizzlies. He enjoys living with grizzlies to living in the world of people and the animals have his life meaning and purpose. Will have to check that out once it’s released.

Now, drinking a delicious big cup of coffee, listening to Bob Marley, catching up on e-mail and enjoying the fact that I haven’t encountered any computer problems yet. Though it’s still early, it’s a sweet relief.

Enjoy the day. Enjoy the weekend. Enjoy the summer breezes and warm sun. Enjoy the thunderstorms that pound through, dropping luscious rain that makes the earth smell like life and rattles your insides making you feel more alive than usual. Enjoy the company of those who make your life interesting and difficult and fun and exciting.

It’s what I am in need of today. Had a ton this morning (had a ton of energy I mean), but it is deteriorating….
Hopefully yoga this evening will help. And maybe ice cream too.
