your most recent entry about love and autumn and lost love made my eyes tear up and my heart swell and quiver. thank you for existing, for persisting in loving in the face of a world that would challenge you not to, and most of all thank you thank you thank you for being my friend through good times and bad. i love you 4-evah!

maine ain't happenin' amiga. so no worries or remorse should be loitering in your brain space on that account. will you want to go to tomatofest? i am on the fence. if you and jacob go, i will go. otherwise i will work to get overtime at the g.. in other news, i am loving 'the diving bell...'. we are not locked-in! this life is expansive and we can move in it, through it, as we so please. we can swim and dance and sing and laugh and scream and cry and love and hug and roll around in the summer grass with only the moon as witness. we are alive! i love you.

i miss you. i feel amazed that we have gone for so long without seeing each other. how is that even possible? i will be moving to northampton in june. i hope i will see you before then, for one last amherst-based rendezvous. and let us not forget to look towards the 2nd annual visit to tomato-fest (this time with less tomato ingestion).

p.s. having had my own bladder woes over the years (most recently, if you remember, involving gridlock traffic n' nyc n' a paper cup) i feel it is not my place to judge the bladder-challenged. that said, i think perhaps lola is just such a sensualist... maybe all long dogs are just so sensual--they are like the french of canines, oui?

i love this two-brain theory and the anecdote about the fellow weinerdogaphiles. you should start a support group for the pee-traumatized owners since clearly you are legion. in other news, i think i will get myself an imaginary dog. she will be long, too, and when she pees on the floor it will not smell or stain. i miss you and the pee-machine.

rodney (of yoga break fame) is coming to northampton to do a workshop. maybe he will wear his spandex bike shorts? maybe we should go and hold up placards like he's a movie star and we are dazzled fans? we can chant "you are yoga break-ing my heart rodney!".

i love you. i just went for a post-kindergarten joyride on my lemon-yellow moped all around the waterside and up and down windy hillsides, observing flowers flirting with the sun and farmers wearing hats of timelessly large shade-yielding brimmed proportions hunched over the red soil in seeming communion with the earth, and small black goats on steep slopes, and oh it was so marvelous and how i wished to take you there my dear friend who i know was likely asleep and dreaming as i motored along.... in this way the membrane of dreams seperates us, as of course does the ocean. and do not fear, for i felt 100 years old working at the nhr and 8 months in korea has cured me of that :)

oh beth, how i miss you! the shout-out to me in this entry warmed my heart so! shall i use more exclaimation marks?!! yes!!! don't fear about the job--remember it's just a step on the way to ultimately being a librarian--you are in school after all headed for greater things than office drone-ship. in the mean time, think of the current job in terms of the money. really--think of each painful month in terms of the fiscal pay-off. that's how i've managed to stick it out this long in korea. with what you are earning if you can hack it there in that job for even 6 months you will be so financially empowered to make life choices in the future. should i return from korea and find your poet's soul and fine crafty heart have been snared in a net of excell spreadsheet gridlines, i will be compelled to liberate you with a heavy dose of random adventures and moonlit dumpster dives. remember: your job is just what you do--it's not who you are. and if worse comes to worse, korea always welcomes you to come teach. lol. parting words: it's *your* life, yours only, so if what you want/need is to make many changes in career, so be it and fuck anyone who looks down on you for it. ghandi said that he was (to badly paraphrase) obligated to truth, not consistency, and that is how i choose to play it now. in closing this mammoth beast of a note, i will note here that i remember at age 11 or 12, reading robert fulghum's (sp?) book 'everything i need to know i learned in kindergarten' and being blown away by his author bio in which he had done like 20 diff jobs (hugely varying professions mind you). i found it *inspiring* as my soul was that of a curious and easily bored sort, even at that young age i viewed the prospect of a long-term life-long career-monogamy as being a loathesome prospect. xoxo siri

beautiful entry! i am dajeon. last night there was a party and a cat stevens song (father and son reunion) came on the itunes playlist (product placement in the notes--will i get some kind of kickback?) and i of course wished you were there to bask in it all with me. i am so dying to meet your dog--it is a painful thing to not know her yet hear of how wonderful she is. when i get back i hope the three of us can take a nice trip to the beach. lots of love, siri

sadly, i can not take credit for the e.d. kite, as it was a gift. i haven't yet had the chance to test it out yet -- what do you think the kids on the playground will say when they see it!
