How I did it
How to quietly ink or pierce something
It took me
2 years
It made me
glad all over


How to give as much as (or more than) I get in friendships
It took me
1 year
It made me
Wario!


How to give someone a good out-loud belly laugh
It took me
1 month
It made me
Double over!

On 9/3 Wish Rat (a staggering Rat of heartbreaking something or other) a Virgo Perfect Storm birthday, filled with good manners, tidy surroundings, tasty food, lovely art, and loads of BACON!!!
Stagger-rat of Heartbreak 1 month ago

I am so late. I’m truly sorry I missed your birthday. I’ve been scarce with unpacking and lost track of everything.
I hope you had a wonderful wonderful time with all the bacon of your dreams. I rustled up some popcorn and thought of you…

Whatever, July 9 4 months ago

Tired of second-guessing.
Tired of the false notion of finding nobility in having no expectation.
Tired of bland.
Tired of always not enough.



Accept limitations, then bust 'em wide open (read all 3 entries…)
There is a bland expanse of prairie 5 months ago

and though I accept it for the here and foreseeable, I can leap like a desert rat through the… wait… there’s brush over by this lonesome highway: small scrubby plants that are quite beautiful as the sun rises and sets on them. And a signpost, bent and dented, a little landmark to show how far I’ve come and what direction is possible whether I choose it or not.
There is a small hole in the dirt by the side of the road. I didn’t notice it before. There may be some animal life in it flourishing underground. Maybe there are hidden pools of water. Maybe I can dig another hole. Maybe lots of them, like black dots, or escape hatches.
Most of all I like being mobile in the desolation. I wonder if I’ll see a hand wave from one of the holes.
