12 years ago today I drove an ex-girlfriend to the airport. We were never going to see each other again. At least that’s what we thought.
by Johnny StrategyNew york — We had broken up over the summer, and not in a good way. She was back for a week to close the books on her apartment and officially discharge from college.

"No one understands me," she said. Her grandmother was silent for a minute. It seemed she was searching for an answer in the star speckled sky. "But no one understands anyone in this world, darling. We are all unique. It is what gives us a sense of wonder."

A Poem for my Soul MateChaos defines the realm of fateSea of endless confusion lateIn an ocean of desperationLies an island of salvationAs the stars litter the depths of spaceThe grains of sand, populate with graceThoughts of you, I embraceLike glistening pearls of whiteYour eyes gleam with no contriteRadiant beauty blankets my worldMadness of love unfurledYour eyes and mine have metThoughts of you beset.

meditation, Creativity
The local neighborhood bar has a quiet time between six and nine. It is a place that specializes in coffee, beer and seasonal menus. There is just enough of each for a satisfying snack and effective buzz. After the time when the laptop lids close and before the social gatherings start -- there is a sort of twilight*. Often this time is a fugitive ground rife with creative inspiration and meditative work -- of the kind that results in personal reward.*twilight may refer to civil, nautical or astronomical variety depending on your social or terrestrial condition

subway, music
