Shhh…

Just when I think the well’s all gone dry, someone nudges me and reminds me that, No, all you have to do is write. You’re good enough. Its good. It’s all good.

Actually, I’ve been spending time elsewhere. Not on a longboard in Santa Cruz, I’m afraid (although, come to think of it, why not?!) but elsewhere online, a side project I kick-started recently that, when it’s all tweaked nicely, I’ll be ready to share.

For now, there’s quiet. A deep, resounding quiet out my bedroom window, streaked softly with an occasional passing freight on Interstate 85, about a mile away from my ear. It’s a quiet like the vaccum before a storm; we leave for Austin tomorrow morning, a long weekend. I don’t even know where our bags are. I might be happy enough just boarding the plane, empty-handed.

It’s the soulful quiet of contentment in the middle of a wild, roving universe.

Sleep tight.
