if i could make one wish for the world

it would be world peace

and zoe louise forever.

things i want to learn

felting
knitting
how to calm a horse with my energy
how to calm myself
diligence with my 'vegetarian' diet
to be true

i am here and i am ready

from zayneb and the alchemist

which i have not read, but must!

“My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer,” the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky.

“Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second’s encounter with God and with eternity.”

“Every second of the search is an encounter with God,” the boy told his heart.

"if you don't know where you're going

any road will take you there"

slow leo

i thought he was going to learn to be potty trained in a corner of my house.
i thought he was going to learn the sound of my voice and come crawling over to me.
i thought we were going to be the stars of the park.

the reality is:

he peed on me.
he hisses at me.
he is so cute.

he is the closest thing i have ever seen to a dinosaur.
coty loves him.

my dream is not a dream

i am moving for the sixth consecutive summer in a row. (how do i still have so much stuff?) i like to spend springtime searching craigslist for a new apartment. and new furniture. and a new job. and maybe just maybe a new dog. and a new barn. and so today i found this, in eugene, oregon. this woman has manifested a longtime dream of mine. and i can't wait to get out there and meet her. maybe it is time i stick around just a little longer in one place and *see*what*happens*

buzz buzz

instead of getting interested
i'll drink coffee
busy bees outside my window
inspire a career change

this will have to do for now
