i haven't written for me in so long i am not sure if i remember the experience.
i am taking off my formal capital letters and letting my e.e.cummings come out. lol
right.
really i am lazy.
remember spinning as a kid? you just put your arms out wide and you just spun as fast as you could...got dizzy and fell into a giggling heap. i think now if i spun around once i would fall down. i also can't take those amusement park rides which spin. and remember those playground rides that spun...you ran really fast around and around and jumped on. or you would lay down and watch the clouds whirr past in a blur.
i want to make snow angels.
i want to run around a baseball field.
i want to spin.
and i want to laugh.
you ever get this feeling that all that matters is right now? this moment. maybe this is it. what is important? what do we take away from it all?
words, words, words.
so many pretty words. ugly ones too. let's mash them up like mashed potatoes. cover them with gravy and eat them until we puke.
life! ain't it grand?
Come sit a spell and shoot the breeze. Sweeten the day with a little synchronicity...

I want to make snow angels, too! I don't get snow where I live.
Running around a baseball field is fun..
I want to jump in puddles :)
course, i feel like dancing everytime i go to the beach...sometimes child likeness is so free-ing
I remember spinning as a child and being told either I was going to make myself sick, or fall down and break my head.
We, living on a hillside, had another way which was to lay down and start a horizontal spin. Grass stains were a problem for when you later went in, mothers hated those, but I didn't fall down and break my head. :)
This is really off topic, but I like that magnified photo you have posted at the top of the page.
Enjoy your day, Merely Me! Relish the pure, innocent delight that it brings...
Spin away, darlin'.
I remember spinning! And the giggles too!
Maybe you can't physically do the spinning thing anymore. But you do have the memories of it in your mind's eye. And you can evoke the feelings again in words...and giggle if you want.
