fortunes & filler.

So life has successfully scrambled my brain again...and there are many words practically bursting from this body, but alas, I can't seem to find the time to update this here blog-let alone update people that I bump into on the street. So for now there are only fortunes & filler.

Two of my recent fortunes on wonton soup lunch breaks:

1. You are often unaware of the effect you have on others.

2. We must always have old memories and young hopes.

I especially love that last one...because there are many days that I feel exactly that-both young and old in one body. In fact, after listening to an NPR interview with one of my favorite writers, Alan Lightman, I've decided that my life progression is and has been anything but linear. This is supposedly the typical path of movement as a human...

I think my path would be more like a weaving loom. In and out, over and under the single strands that bind all the pieces of the grand scheme together-always flitting about, dancin' my way through the various relationships and landscapes that this life has to offer...

It would definitely be easier if I wasn't constantly burning with this desire/need to explore everything...to understand the way things work. They way we work.
