it’s thursday and i’ve got nothing
no sweet epiphanies / no exciting adventures
i try to write every week if just to process my own inner journey
calibrate my perspective with the reality of things
that’s a useful exercise
but lately it’s been mostly resting and healing and not even bike riding
that’s where i get alot of the themes and sub-themes - from up on my bike
i miss it / i need the inspiration
human beings (if i might pivot to the universal) need to be reminded
we forget the simplest and most basic things :: like we are alive
pretty basic / have you thought about it today or have you just taken it for granted ??
i find that even remembering once in a while enriches my life
once in a while is about all i’m able to manage
there are no ordinary moments would be another way to say it
they’re all special in some way
i wonder how adult fireflies feel about their 2-3 week life span
after crawling around in their larval state for a couple of years
now they have to get laid and procreate and i’m sure they don’t waste
a single flash of light as they fly around looking for a mate
i read about it in an article
don’t know where it is now
a bunch of people were going on
an expedition in the english countryside
to see the greenish light cast off by a special fungi
that appeared in that particular forest this time of year
for some reason the fungi didn’t show but one couple
who happened to be the couple writing the article
wandered off a bit down the lane and around the bend
where they discovered a whole cloud of ‘synchronous fireflies’
emerging from the ground and rising up / signaling - dash dash dot
in unison / moving around and gently pulsating
soon everyone gathered there
and they forgot about the green fungi
huh / guess i did have something to say
nothing to report
