A cat comes and goes without ever leaving.

-Curtis B. Johnson-

2004 - 2007

My furry child
My faithful friend
My mischevious beloved cat.
You are so missed.

The cat went here and there
and the moon spun round like a top
and the nearest kin of the moon,
the creeping cat, looked up.
Black Minnaloushe stared at the moon,
for wander and wail as he would,
the pure cold light in the sky
troubled his animal blood
Minnaloushe runs in the grass
lifting his delicate feet
Do you dance, Minnaloushe, do you dance?
When two close kindred meet?
What better than call a dance?
Maybe the Moon may learn
tired of that courtly fashion
A new dance turn

Minnaloushe creeps through the grass
from moonlit place to place
The sacred moon overhead
has taken a new phase.
Does Minnaloushe know that his pupils
will pass from change to change
And from round to cresent
from cresent to round they range?
Minnaloushe creeps through the grass
Alone, important and wise.
And lifts to the changing moon
His changing eyes.

well its been a while since i posted. but things have happened since last time that are funny.

like falling out of the bus in new york city because my suitcase was jacked from the flight and as i jumped from the platform onto the sidewalk, discovered my boots weren't the best for gripping the huge mound of ice lining the streets at 2am. lets just say hauling luggage through upper manhattan after a good snow is a workout. the temps weren't so bothersome, but it was damned cold the whole time. i hope to post some pictures soon.

i've been riding a running more lately. trying to get back into shape for the cycling season. i'm ready to take trips to the mountains with the warm weather, and i'm ready to go to savannah.

so 2007 has improved since i just accepted a job offer for a higher up position in social services. yes, a social worker, but paid more, and now that i'm IN it's so easy to move up. oh yea. i decided that a good 5 year plan for me is to start heading toward the school counseling by my early thirties. and until then get as much experience as i possibly can. the real world is so much different that what you learn in college. and it's beneficial to learnd about the red tape that keeps us from helping kids as much as possible.

that's it for tonight. ijust wanted to post again, hoping my postabilities start coming back to me more and more.

and for the record: i really appreciate all my friends. so here i say "thank you" for your support and encouragment over the years.

peace, love, and bugs.
