his paintings remind me of the shapes and colors i see when i close my eyes.
or...
the procrastination continues.

::

what i have been doing instead of what i should be doing:

making pesto,
baking bread.
making granola,
moving little objects
around my house
to better spots.
lying in bed
with my hands over my face,
and flexing my calves
to stave off the results
of the last hike.
making lists,
doing laundry.
taking pictures,
re-reading a book.
concocting plans,
and then waking to find
that the details are fuzzy.
listening to music,
and pulling girls
onto the couch
just to get
a good squeeze in.
watching rain fall
into the creek,
and onto the trees.
repeating to tim
over and over
that i'm glad
we're in this
thing
together.

i'll try again tomorrow.
that's all for today.

xo,
