Only thirty minutes late and two hours away from the Bird and the Baby, darn it!

I read your post, looked up at my clock, and found it was exactly 9:00.

I had a dream while I was in college, once, that I climbed a tall tower in my dormitory - and while my dormitory was very gothic in its architecture, this tower did not in fact exist - and found Tolkein as a very old man living in a cozy, book-lined, warm round room at the top. He gave me tea and we talked, and I was filled with overwhelming relief to discover that someone so sane and wise and kind and older lived there with us.

Hi, I found your journal through the embodiment community. I just wanted to comment and say that I really appreciated reading through your journal. I use livejournal to post pictures and keep track of some of my friends, but it's not often that I seek out people that are completely different from me- most of the people on my friends list are either close friends of mine in real life, or people my age with similar interests. I was totally fascinated reading your journal- I can't even imagine how cool it would be if my mother had journaled her whole life. I would know so much more about her! I think it's awesome that you are doing this, and I think the embodiment community is even more awesome for bringing so many different types of people together. Your kids seem really cool, too. I hope that someday I can have kids that will surprise me with breakfast in bed wearing St. Lucia day costumes, or something equally nifty. Good luck in life!
