Late-night Ruminations from a grocery store parking lot...

This rain reminds me of how temporary we are: no sunny day lasts past sunset, no flower's bloom can be preserved, no one's childhood will linger, despite our desperate attempts to make it so...

Streetlights bend the light which dances like jellyfish across my paper while I scrawl with black crayon in the parking lot of Jewel. My eyes continually flick to the entry, searching for the figure that towers over all others... He is racing between the dark puddles, and we are off for an evening together...

Glad to know I'm not the only one writing thoughts, ideas and lists in crayon. Seems to be the only writing utensil ever around.

Hope you had a nice, relaxing evening together.

How beautiful.

This one... "no one's childhood will linger" crushes me. I want my children's childhoods to linger forever.

I love that moment after waiting that you finally glimpse your honey and your heart gives a little skip and a smile flicks at the side of your lips...
