Oh dearest of worlds, i climbed a soft mountain and at the top was the most incredible view. i saw two whole continents, and the ocean between them and i had to wake up to remind myself not to be afraid. of the height, and the view, and the height and the view. And that i may fall. that i am falling. that there is no landing pad.

MAGIC

Today I went to the bank and I got involved with the two tellers at the bank in a conversation about how the world is really poor right now, yes, but it's ok because I just watched Harry Potter and it was Christmas in the last movie and he went to the Weasley's house and they don't have anything really, but they love each other and they got sweaters and scarves for x-mas and it was beautiful and warm and good. And then I said, yes, and Harry is also a magician, at which point, Ben suggested that "Magician" might be a derogatory term for what Harry Potter really is : A WIZARD.

Then when I left the bank, I looked at my receipt closely and the teller who had been depositing my checks accidentally entered an extra 800 dollars into my account.

**MAGIC**

I sat there for awhile trying to figure out what would happen if i just didn't say anything about it.

Turns out that sometimes all you have is honesty, even if your just a lowly magician.

p.s. I love you universe.

Snow Day

It's snowing.
I'm getting serious.

This is what we ate for dinner on Thanksgiving. we had a lovely feast for two.
Then we went to the Bourgeois Pig for a warm holiday beverage.
There are some very sweet folks in Lawrence, KS.

the house we are contemplating

this is what the house looks like now.

we are contemplating our desires.

of course we want a house.

but do we want it HERE?

We do what we can.

we are incredibly strong.
we lifted those trees just the two of us.

I thought it couldn't be done. But then it was.

Building a house. thats so much more than it sounds like.

brewing a stone of momentum

I want to ask you a question?
How slow can you go?
How slow will you go?
For a tangle?
For a soft night, everyday?
For a way of doing things that are unforgettable?
Will you do it seriously.
Serious.
One time I was so mad I died.
I just laid down and died. I was so mad.
I was a somad. A soman. A snowman.
I was published by the ghosts of people who might die in the future.
I mean, they are more likely to die than others, in the future.
I guess the near future. If there is any other kind let me know.
The far future. The far out future. I doubt it.

So obstinate. I just don’t know what story to tell you.
I do it all myself.
I don’t believe in commerce.
But oh I love it so.
I don’t believe in money, but I do believe in restaurants.
Oh my love, I believe in wine bars.
I believe in the saturation of my sensual tolerance.
I believe in my body as the bearer of very expensive and beautiful clothing.
Hello. I believe in shoes.
I believe in escape. And ice cream.
