In my ears and getting under skin this week: Wilco’s Hate It here, Hercules and Love Affair’s Time Will Tell and Sera Cahoone’s Only as the Day is Long.

Gosh it feels like the last 3 months have been so intense and it feels kinda odd not to have much in the way of big external markers for what’s happening on the inside. I have lost about 20 pounds, but hardly anyone notices. It’s mostly been about music, art, writing, reflection and opening up to new connections, specifically with these three women who are themselves very loosely connected to each other. While the connections differ in intensity, from casual to what has the potential for pretty dang intense, they have these commonalities – imagination, creativity, brains, illness and sex. And lots of words. Sometimes, really, really great words. (Just to clear things up I’m not having sex with all three of them.) I don’t believe the universe is trying to tell me something here, but I still find the coincidences interesting, something to reflect on a little.

All I do is ride my bike back and forth to wherever I’m going, no more than 6 miles at a stretch, but sometimes something in all this feels kinda epic.
