There was no sun this morning as I skipped across the wet sidewalk to my car.
Always five minutes late these days.
Such silence and calm in the mornings - even in my hurried state.
[it's the simplicity & i'm held by it.]
I feel it settled just under my skin. That's the way of things. I've tried to write a bit all day today but I'm mostly staring.
I get frightened to touch things in case I ruin it. It'll crumble quick, I know. Later, when I go back and read it and edit it, it's a bit more fearless. There's some aggressive hacking to be done.
But for now I am shy and hesitant.
I wait until the wind catches my back and brings me to the end.
That way I'm barely treading on it.
Just finished a book called "Real Food."
I love reading about food. Seriously, it's so much of what I've been reading recently. If I'm not reading about it, I like watching documentaries about food, or talking about food. All sorts of food. Don't get me started. The book was good, though. Great insight. There is much to be done and I'm even more excited for tomatoes in the middle of summer. I've been thinking about smelling one all day.
Catching up with friends reminds us of all the things that are changing and all the things that aren't. Bittersweet reminders.
If you'd like to know what I can't stop listening to, my answer would be: "Ancient Crimes" by Kim Janssen, Of Monsters and Men, and The Lumineers.
What would your answer be?

This post. It sings to me.
Seriously. You should invest in a 'penny for Tina's thoughts' jar. I'd contribute. Often. You'd be rich. Think on it. ;)
Haha, you're a doll. What would I do without your encouragement?!
p.s. i miss you & your thoughts.
D'aw. 'Fraid my thoughts are being almost exclusively channeled into this 80,000 word novel, at the moment. (Janelle and I are racing, did you know? It's not about the Starbucks she's buying me when I win - granted, victory will taste delicious - so much as challenging each other to keep going. Deadline is July 19, highest word count wins. Jump in, if the fancy takes you.)
But here's my answer to your song question. I can't stop listening to "Black is the Color" by The Dry Spells: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hW-15A2_xrg
Also, "Monday Morning" is my first Death Cab For Cutie favorite (for the record, I've always found their band name disturbing): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuyY0gzrtqU I love the opening lyrics, especially.
:)
