“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.” -Rumi

“When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you’re not here, I can’t go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnias! And the difference between them.” -Rumi

We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. — “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” April 16, 1963

You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

Yes, we are truly THAT bored

23 November, 2004 /

I don’t know what it is about watching the ‘washer channel’. I don’t know what it is about my kids coming in to watch me watch the washer.
“Whatcha doin?”
“Watching.”
“The clothes wash?”
“No, today it’s the floor mat from the car.”
“Smells funny.”
“It’s pretty dirty too.”
Then the conversation actually goes somewhere and we start talking about her day or something she has on her mind. All the while I listen and watch the crap in the washer get the shit washed out of them.

It’s our time.

It’s like the Ronco Set it and Forget it Rotisere (someday I will actually look up how to spell that). I can’t help but watch that damn bird spin.

If you haven’t figured it out…I have a touch of the crazy.
