Howdy,
A snowmobile races towards sunset while three desperate icicles hang in crooked desperation on the tiny porch railing thats a looking point for eleven thousand foot peaks out our lodge window. 48 inches of new powder in 48 hours,arguably the greatest snow on earth here in the land of salt and lake. Amy and myself are pretending, like we get to, once a year, to be rich. There isnt much pretending to be rich. I can really be myself when I'm rich. Like a ugly rock star who takes his picks from the beautiful groupies, I can act like my wallet is switched with diamonds and no one knows its full of Washingtons instead of Franklins. It the same kind of game I use to play when sitting in first class: I'm a bad-ass and you have no idea why i'm as goofy and carefree as I am and sitting next to your day-planner and tie and I know you wonder about my story. The thing about perception is you practice a particular way of being long enough and you become.
My mind remains full of promise from last night's group. I like hanging with writers. Writers are like music: voices instead of notes on sheet music. You share your thoughts and i am,
song..

I am disguted with my word choice, "ugly"
ReplyDeleteplease forgive me,

What would you choose in place of that ugly word? Maybe you could just leave it out. True rock stars (those who are good musicians) tend to never actually be physically attractive in the traditional sense, so we get the idea without you having to use an adjective at all (I don't love adjectives).
ReplyDeleteI too like hanging with writers! This group is a bit of therapy for the creative soul--and so much cheaper than eight sessions with a psych. (Sorry, Kathie.)

Tiffany,
ReplyDeletethank you for your thoughts. Yes, less is better here. It can be fun to play God when the pen is bewteen my fingers, and it's most rewarding when I treat humanity with respect. I don't want my writing to come accross as judgemental, but rather insightful and creative.

No offense taken! Actually, I tell people that there are a whole bunch of fun things in life that are a heck of a lot cheaper than therapy....cruises, writing courses, a trip to the Bahamas...and probably much more therapeutic!
