Stream of Consciousness-November 7, 2007

11/7/07

Alright, so the sky is so bright today and the air is crisp and November and I wish I were still driving around the island with the windows down and Led Zeppelin playing. I would listen to “Dazed and Confused.” And then I would go to the beach (properly layered in sweatshirts) and stand at the end of the pier and watch the world be. And I would probably see pelicans, those unsettling spirits, and their eyes would disturb me as they fell through currents of wind and I would look away. My camera is plaintively calling “where are you?” and I could (if this educational institution did not bar me) unzip the canvas bag and cradle the lens in my cupped palm and hold the blessed eye like my first born child. I wonder what it’s like to have a child. I cannot fathom a being that can tear the flesh from my soul because they are my love…
