So I've given some thought to leaving town again. I don't know what it is but Fishers doesn't seem like home anymore. I got a letter from a friend who works with Doctors w/o Borders and he was telling me all about this leprosy clinic in India he's working at and that it hires anyone with any semblence of an education. I've never been to...

So I did something constructive today and signed up for ballet lessons. It should coincide well with the Tae Kwon Do and Yoga and the limberness I've gained from doing that stuff for eight years.
Hopefully I won't be laughed out of the room...I can be a klutz.

Today is an off day. My feet hurt and there's no school or work tomorrow...that should be a good thing but I'm dreading it...don't know why. Maybe I need that structure in my life.
There's nothing familiar or interesting on TV right now and I'm not in the mood to call friends or go anywhere. I'm just sitting here wasting time...I feel like I'm sinning...

Best movie line I've heard in years:
There's glass between us, you can't deal with my infinite nature can you?

This is why country music is still the best to be drunk and miserable to....thank you Alison Krauss & Union Station for providing such excellent music.

It doesn't matter what I want
It doesn't matter what I need
It doesn't matter if I cry
Don't matter if I bleed
You've been on a road
Don't know where it goes or where it leads

It doesn't...

Mackenzie's favorite song...

I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
you were talking so brave and so sweet,
giving me head on the unmade bed,
while the limousines wait in the street.
Those were the reasons and that was New York,
we were running for the money and the flesh.
And that was called love for the workers in song
probably still is for...

Being rock, being gas, being mist, being Mind,
Being the mesons travelling among the galaxies with the speed of light,
You have come here, my beloved one...
You have manifested yourself as trees, as grass, as butterflies, as single-celled beings, and as chrysanthemums;
but the eyes with which you looked at me this morning tell me you have never died.
~Thich Nhat Hanh

Training began with children who were taught to sit still and enjoy it. They were taught to use their organs of smell, to look when there was apparently nothing to see, and to listen intently when all seemingly was quiet. A child that cannot sit still is a half-developed child.

Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme
Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine
Let us drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
For we may and might never all meet here again

Here's a health to the company and one to my lass
Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass
Let us drink and be...

When I am alone
When Ive thrown off the weight of this crazy stone
When I've lost all care for the things I own
That's when I miss you, that's when I miss you, that's when I miss you
You who are my home
You who are my home
And here is what I know now
Here is what I know now
Goes like this.....
