   Sunsets and such
Evening is on the way. I live in the canyon, and work 45 min drive from the desert. It's been very warm. Here it comes, a breath taking sunset, fire colours from the ashes of the wild fires this past October. Earth does not forget its traumas, but somehow continues to try to create a mystiyable beauty from the saddest scars. I wish people could learn from creatures and plants of Gaia-- not to compare oneself to others-- that makes tears,anger or false prides. No-- rather just simply exist, in this time and momment-- enjoy what you see, because even during sad times we will eventually come on something good. And maybe, we can just begin to learn to appreciate the moment in everyone. Wow, maybe that may lead to taking just one second longer to get angry, maybe just one argument averted, maybe the beginning of mutual respect. Wouldn't it be a great dream if there was just one less fight? Well, we can dream , can't we?

I'm listening to soft jazz, feeling like the music is huggling me softly. My husband is away on business, but I'm lucky enough to live in the Internet and cell phone age-- he's as near as can be, even when he has to travel. I'm glad to be living in a time where women and men can beindependent, and have their own careers and interests. That makes us strong, keeps us interested in the world, and makes us interesting as people. When anyone finds something to care about, be passionate for beyond oneself, I think this is what beauty is, not just appearance. Winding down after a long day at work---I am happy for the people I have met through the Otaku-- and it feels like people here are becoming friends though I can only see your avatars. Somehow, through writing and art, I think the truest parts come thru-- clearer than a photograph. Oh, oohhhhhh--- the thrumming of feet, and shuffling-- can only mean the Peanut Gallery -- reminding me not to get stuck in SERIOUS gear....

I had a thought (no, I sometimes do get original thoughts.. really.. what, AWWWW MAN... nooooo I won't mention the Beat generation and Ginsburg and HOWL.....)

what if we built a story ..... everyone at the Otaku---adding it line by line-- it would be the most number of authors of one story ever......well if anyone sees this, and might like to join in (I am NO writer, but I'll start) here's just a line-- ready , set, LETS JAM (its borrowed from Bebop but still sounds OK):
The winds blew, shaking everything. He blinked, trying to scout the distance-- who were those people, and what were they doing he wondered.....(if anyone is interested, go for it, if not, well it was a concept)


Goodnight , Ozy J. Starshine shine smiles Bali Kitti, warm thank you for kind thoughts VashsAngel--may spring flowers bloom for you. DarkSciros, and Wandering Kenshin, thank you for your advice--may you both possess the colours of a Pacific beach sunset, music to dance to for Wolfy, and places to run fast for Kamiya Usagi ! AND OF COURSE , BISCOTTI AND DONUTS FOR YOU ALL-- VASH AND COMPANY AGREED TO REFRAIN FROM THE DONUTS MEANT FOR FRIENDS.

Maybe I'll see you at Border's.. Time for some chai for me.
Love and Peace, biscotti and donuts
