• THURSDAY WHATEVER
  

  Setting sun, Gleneden Beach, Oregon, July 2005
  

  The grass-harps of madmen clatter
  to a nine-nine rhythm
  

  first wave, second wave, the sand
  is entering itself with pleasure
  

  will you, third wave, notice it;
  the fourth wave breaks the surface
  

  bearing nothing but the fifth wave birth
  upon the sixth wave shore;
  

  the guilty weaken quickly as the seventh wave
  goes down to spread itself upon the breast
  

  of all the eighth waves in the world
  before the ninth wave turns them under.

  Deep Thought: “I think a good scene in a movie would be where one scientist tells another scientist: “You know what will save the world? You’re holding it in your hand.” And the other scientist looks, and in his hand are some peanuts. Then, when he looks up, the first scientist is being taken away to the insane asylum”
  Today I am grateful for: The sensation of soft
  Guess the Movie: “When are you people going to learn? It’s not about who’s right or wrong. No denomination’s nailed it yet, and they never will because they’re all too self-righteous to realize that it doesn’t matter what you have faith in, just that you have faith. Your hearts are in the right place, but your brains need to wake up.” Answer: Dogma, 1999. Winner: tearsign.
  Where Do I Live?
  by Cindy Sheehan
  One very positive aspect of my public anti-war, pro-peace stance is that it has put me in contact with so many people all over the world. I believe that my willingness to share my heart and tragic story (and in the process, tell the truth) helps people open up to me in ways that they cannot do with another. In the past few days, I have been bombarded with horror stories about what our government is doing to innocent Americans. (Rest of article here.)
  End of Day: 8:48 pm
  + = Still in that zone from the sea.
  - = Back to record heat in the valley and my non-air-conditioned life.
