Taken

I am taken,
in demand
with demands
like so many to-dos
on a list.

Time is ground
extra fine
and rows of boxes
are refined
within the confines
of these Flamenco Sketches
across these notes.

Take me,
off these pages
and let us just fall
softly,
against the wind
aimlessly,
back to earth.

It is slowly coming together

Life is good!

* I've found the apartment

* L.A.'s unrelenting heat is relenting

* Parking permit application at UCLA - approved

* My new cell phone has of all things, a 'yoga coach' application

And how will I celebrate you ask? By having a good nights sleep and not having to worry about all the above anymore. YAY!

But because I'm me, and planning is almost an addiction - I'm also mentally ready to create plan b's if all the above fail to deliver. For now though, I feel light as a feather and just glad.

A Day

This morning I decided to take mental notes of the little things, just a few, that make my day.

Perfume

I love the feeling of it, especially in the morning. It wakes me up. My favorite: Estee Lauder's Pleasures exotic.

Good radio

It began as a way to cope with L.A. traffic, now I can't do without it. KPFK, KROQ on the fm dial and for Sirius satellite radio people: Chill, Reggae, Coffeehouse, BBC, Discovery Channel and Laugh.

My bedroom

When I get home right around the golden hour, it's perfect. I change into easier clothes, open the window and enjoy the silent lilac and pink hues, the gush of fresh air. I vege and when possible, I nap.

Each of them are moments of respite. Breathers. Moments to be outside of all the things or people that require me. And also time to enjoy being by myself without being too involved with what I'm thinking. Ha ha, that took me a while to understand too!

Hope all is well friends!
