intro
Je n'ai pas peur de la route
Faudrait voir, faut qu'on y goûte
Des méandres au creux des reins
Et tout ira bien là
Le vent nous portera
noir desir- le vent nous portera

Solitude
I realised today how precious solitude is. After a tiringly fun day of hanging out with Sarah, Jon and Gary, which led to much reflection on recent events and conclusions about the future, i got back home in the evening, took Cupcake out to walk, and spent something like an hour watching the sun set while slowly walking around BillBarber.
Singing french, hindi and english songs to myself (and im getting better at singing stacy, dont worry, birds didnt drop dead as they heard my voice) i strolled around on the darkling plain (yes thats a quote from dover beach) with the little doggie sniffing everything in sight, and i felt this intense feeling of peace wash over me.
It was wonderful. The breeze carassed my face as i sung the tunes that i knew so well - Sway, La lune brille pour toi, mon amant de saint jean, tadap tadap ke - and the doggie wagged its tail, and i watched the other doggies and the kids walk around. It was surreal, somehow.
I dont really know what it was in that walk. I still have the aches and pains from bench pressing more than i can handle yesterday, from doing weights i shouldnt have done when i knew i had no time today to do them so that my arms arent horribly pained. I still was tired from a day of talking about EVERYTHING with sarah and occasionally jon and gary. But i was inexplicably HAPPY.
and i still am. its as though ive taken some kind of happy pill!
But the best part of the evening was, by far, when (dano taught me this) i tied up that lil doggy at the stairs with its leash (it wasnt uncomfortable!) and i swung for ten minutes. It was HEAVEN. dear god, i need to do that more.
Solitude is sometimes wonderful too :)
