The world is in a still meditation this morning. The only movement is the nervous thought of woodpeckers drumming clarity on the firs. # It's very hard to sleep out on the deck with the moon doing its bright shiny thing. (small quibbles with the beauty of night!) # RT @tjbuffoonery: "I have a friend who can't get back on his facebook page… for over a week…any advice?" Yeah congratulate him, says I! # It is still still. # One day is another day. The sky remains cloudless. # Spurs looking paralysed by Villareal's possession game. Hutton… ack! #coys # …
Music flows through me; never true to say I play it. It plays me. # Awoke with the taste of saltwater on my lips.

I'm looking at it through the back of a northwest wind that sent …

If only politics was …
