It has rained every day but one so far this May. Craziness. Sometimes I wake up to sunshine, but when I rush out into the day, it clouds up again. There have been some amazing rains, though - Yesterday Aaron and I hit a downpour in the Nisqually River Valley that made us almost blind. We had to slow to 35 on I-5. There have been tornados and thunderstorms this spring! That never happens in the Pacific Northwest. It is so green here, grey and green. Sometimes it feels more like this land is a part of Alaska and British Columbia than the lower 48. THe days are 14 hours of ambiant grey light. The temperature is 57 degrees, exactly the average temperature of the Earth.
The rivers are a swollen rush of green-blue water that is only a little warmer than the glaciers that they pour off of. The mountains are haunted places where it feels wierd to be a human.More often than not I sleep til noon with Aaron just because the rain pounding against the tin roof just makes us so sleepy. I try to imagine what a week of straight sunny seventies feels like and draw a blank.
I have been saturating my self with fresh squeezed fruit and vegetable juice. Smoothies for breakfast and lunch - miso soup for dinner. Aaron is on a complete juice fast. He won't eat anything for another 10 days. I just don't have the self control for that. Especially working in the restaurant where I am tempted constantly with crab dip, coconut prawns, ling cod with creamy dill sauce, steamers, tempura halibut, calamari, and on and on. The food is so good.

Posted by: Momma at June 5, 2004 6:10 AMhow does it feel to be one of the beautiful people?
now that you know who you are
what do you want to be?
and that you traveled very far
as far as the eye can see
how does it feel to be one of the beautiful people?
how often have you been there?
often enough to know
what did you see when you where there?
nothing that doesnt show...
baby your a rich man
baby your a rich man too..
you keep all your money in a big brown bag
inside the zoo!!what a thing to do....
you say you want a revolution-well ya know
we all want to change the world
power to the people
power to the people right on!!!
you say you want a revolution-you better get it on right away-well get off your feet into the streets singing
power to the people
power to the people right on!!
words are flowing out like empty rain into a paper cup they slither while they pass and slip away across the universe
pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifing
throu my open mind possesing and carressing me
ja garu davlin omm-nothings gonna change my world
limitless and undying love which shines around me like a million suns and calls me on and on across the universe
instant karmas gonna get you
gonna knock you in the head
better get your self together
pretty soon your gonna be dead
what in the world you thinkin of?
laughing in the face of love?
what on earth are you trying to do its up to you
yeah you
well we all shine on
like the moon and the stars and the sun
we all shine on
on and on and on and on...
Yeah we all be playin those mind games together
pushing the barriers planting seeds
we all be playing those mind games forever
love is the answer
you know that for shure
love is the flower
you gotta let it
you gotta let it grow....
so long ago was it just a dream?
was it just a dream?
i know oh yes i know
seems so very real
seems so real to me
took a walk down the stream
thru the heat whispered trees
i thaught i could hear
somebody call out my name
dream dream away
theres magic in the air
theres magic in the air
i know oh yes i know
seems so real to me
everyone thinks i am crazy
doin what i am doin
well they give me all kinds of warnings
to save me from ruin
when i say that iam ok well they look at me kinda strange
shurly your not happy now no longer playin the game
people say i am lazy
dreamin my life away
well they give me all kinds of advise designed to enlighten me
when i tell them that i am doin fine watchin shadows on the wall
dont you miss the big time
your no longer on the ball
i am just sittin here watchin the wheels go round and round i love to watch them roll
no longer ridin on the merry go round
i just had to let it go
just had to get this outta my head...sometimes i wish that john was still alive to give hope into this hopeless world...isnt it funny how his music which is 20+years old is still relevent in this world today??give peace a chance?yeah right-and the ones who preach peace and speak there minds turn tails when the back lash comes down..did you ever notice when he spoke his mind and did his peace stunts-he didnt care what anyone said or if people stopped buying his albums-he tried to get his message out there no matter what the consequences where going to be-there needs to be more people out there who feels this way..
we all want to change the world it just the people you cant stand....
everybodys talkin about
bagism, shagism, thisism, thatism, isnt it the most?
all we are sayin is give peace a chance...
love you jesi...
