dusk is my favorite time of day. last night i ran towards blue mountains against the changing sky and saw a skunk run across the street and into the bushes. running grounds me, connects me to the land we live on. and though i ache a bit for the east coast, i can set one adidas sneaker in front of another atop the beauty of this desert i call home, and it is beauty too.


sushi with leslie, cooking a meal with people around me in the kitchen, driving in the summer sun with music dancing, sleeping in the pink light of my bedroom under clean soft sheets. i have come back to life in california and it feels good.
