"I want to run, I want to hide, I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside, I want to reach out to touch the flame, where the streets have no name"

U2

comforting sound of rain

outside the window   cleansing rain   healing music   I should take my NCAA ball and head for the Y today   my body needs release, though my wrist is sore  

the cats have finally calmed down   one of them, Lily, is my constant companion

today, a new day, and I know what needs to be done   if a good sound comes out of my guitar, I may go to the open mic   or not   I am gradually peeling away false imperatives in my life

I will go with what is healing, and feels right   like simply listening to the cleansing rain   and the birds   and the music

I will organize my office, write a song, leave the past behind   the past cannot be altered, but today is a new creation
