fascinated with the sound of the guitar
but not so much with these same old fingers
rain, like the brushing of strings with fingers
so many possibilities

just what i needed

gd from sd sent me the dvd looking for a thrill: an anthology of inspiration, and it is just incredible™. thanks, g. inspirational quote of the year:
“you could be cleaning the toilet, and enjoy the fact that the result is a clean toilet, on which everyone will be comfortable to sit on, or to use in whatever way they choose to use it. it’s clean, and you’ve made that clean, and that’s an enjoyable process…”
      -dodo nkishi (whoever he is, i’ll google him to learn about his charms)

And this in reference to musical inspiration! genius!

beeswax is a good alternative to lacquer or shellac when coating wooden objects for kids to play with. get a big block, and rub until glossy.

taking a break from writing my holiday cards
raccoons chatter beneath the pines
as i smoke, the rain seeps in through worn-out shoe-soles
i just can’t give them up
