A day for the Irish and the rest of us

Happy St. Patrick's Day.  I appreciate the added green in my day.

My heart is still in Japan, so here is the greenery, and all its peaceful vibrancy, of Japan...

And if you would like to help this breathtaking land filled with its wonderful people, visit:  Here

marching

Like I said,

red

 

I wore a red dress today (and honestly did not choose it on purpose, but smiled to myself when I realized it).  Then someone said it was very nice and somewhat Sargent Pepper-ish, in a good way.  And it didn't bother me because I had on my black boots and it seemed fitting for after all, Sargents do march, do they not?

Mind and Body are, together, feeling the downward pull of Friday.  They seem to anticipate the exhale and blissful weekend-mode approaching.  Sadly, they are not be to appeased.  Tomorrow, they will find themselves occupied at an all-day Bat Mitzvah photography shoot and Body will be sore in the arms and wrists and feet by the end.  They will have to wait until Sunday, but mustn't get their hopes up for anything but a few hours of unscheduled day.  Be good, little self, and do not get impatient with me.  I will try to find a way to make it up to you.

redly, madly, deeply

colors present themselves.  in phases, in seasons and narrations, in memories and expressions and sensations.  march seems red to me.

on this third day of march, i am thinking that it would be nice to fit strawberries atop vanilla frozen yogurt and polka dotted patterns into my day.  i would go so far as to say, replace my day with such things.  i would rather be back on that day in august when my friend came to visit and we spent the afternoon away eating pasta, stilling the world with photographs, cooling the summer with frozen sweets, and finding a touch of simplicity and refreshment.  simplicity like abandoned capital letters. (one must take the simple where it rests)

it is an adequate wish.  only a wish, as there will be no reproducing of wonders. but we can find new ones.
