‘Happy’ was written on a dozen headstones as we walked through the artists’ cemetery in Woodstock
Children who lived only a few years are resting there
I was overwhelmed by the smell of wild oregano
‘I am not the type of dog that could keep you waiting.. for no good reason’… Mr. Stipe pure genius
Marc just requested this song after listening to ‘Nightswimming’
Kristin Stross introduced me to R.E.M. in 1991 or 1992, she said ‘you should listen to Orange Crush!’
I remember having the cassette tape, playing it over and over again! I’d never heard anything like it before
We are not interested in fireworks or barbecues
I am very scared of this world
I am also very curious about what is possible
Yesterday I pet a dog who is clearly very loved, she even let me hold her
Mary saved here money for an electronic dog that whimpers and barks for attention
We still live so close to a busy road where I was hit by a car while taking a late morning stroll
I am terrified of having a dog who gets loose
I do live in fear
Sometimes I can find my way out
High school memories are strong and always just under the surface
If asked when or how do you feel powerful, strong or perhaps invincible?
On the field. Playing field hockey for coach Cross and coach Ballway
The energy was so intense and I lived for it
Too bad I let booze and bullshit take the lead
I do regret making a mess of things so early yet I DO know what a gift it is to have had a chance to make a shift
at 29 I kicked drugs and alcohol and haven’t been arrested, kicked out or told to never come back since
That stroll through the graveyard reminded me to stay close to the clouds
