Fort Defiance, VA

My brain has this phrase on repeat:

"Leap and the net will appear."

I thought it accompanied my "fly" wall canvas

quite nicely

especially

on a day that I took a giant leap.

(more to come later)

For now, my I-pod will be playing

"Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise"

until further notice

and I will be singing these lines

over and

over and

over

until they start to sink in

and my face lights up

with the biggest smile

imaginable

as I slowly realize

that my dream has been

FREED.

"There was a dream

and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I’ll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out."

Los Angeles, CA

I love LA after it rains. Apparently this city
is surrounded by mountains -
and the white caps debut only after the clouds lift.
The bush outside my building sparkled this morning
with drops of water that rarely make
an appearance around here.

You never realize how dense the smog
until it lifts.
