An/other year

I have been reborn.
Remade.

Each time December dies, I am there. Fulfilling my role as pallbearer.
With the last bit of dirt placed, I turn...

...with filthy hands to serve as January's midwife.
My own.

The whole world cheering the arrival of a chance to start again. I will be quietly taking it personally.

I put a lot of pressure on me.

Push.

Breathe... Push.

What is this?!

There is a odd-yet-familiar sensation creeping across my skin.

It has been happening all day today.  Like a twitching and a warming and a swelling feeling. 

It feels like my house used to during the first warm days of Spring.

Settling.  Like an air conditioning just coming on...

Oh..

Yeah..

Brevity

(Do what you want to.  Do what is wise.  Do what is right.  Think before you act.  Don't just think, act.)

"I do what I know I should not do, and not what I know I should."

Does any of this make any sense?  Who is in charge anyway?

I am making my fingers type these words.  I am willing them into existence, yet, with those very same words I present admissions of my inability to apply the will which I am using at this very moment to the situations which are ultimately more important than my need to record my lack of ability.

If you've ever been near me during a time in which I could physically not say what I was thinking, it is because in my mind, thoughts were contending for the chance to become something more than merely thoughts.  The previous paragraph is close to what that sounds like.  Any wonder why I often have headaches...

I want to do the right thing, but like most "things" in life, I look at them deeper and harder and longer.  Blacks and whites turn into blurry grays and blues and colors that have, until that moment, never been seen.

So I don't. 

(Make the first move.  Say what I want to.  Realize the possibilities.  Do the right thing.)

Whatever it is.  I'm still looking.

What am I looking for?  I'll tell you when I see it, if I ever do.

Funny thing is, sometimes you realize, and it is too late to do anything.

Where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain

If Texas was the ham in my "spring break sandwich", then Oklahoma was the whole wheat toast. (Just follow that analogy.)

I know, y'all think I'm crazy and that Oklahoma is just a state you drive through to get somewhwere else, but you, my friend, are wrong. Those people down there are the most genuine, hardworkin', lifelovin', warmblooded, kindhearted folk you ever will meet.

I tell you what - feeding and housing a stranger until he ain't one no more. I just don't even know what I would do without Timothy Scott and his folks and friends. It's enough to make a man pick up from the frozen tundra and relocate somewhere both geographically and socially warmer.

I'd like to say "Thank you" to the people Ada, Oklahoma for the polite conversation and delicious cuisine. Special thanks to the ladies at The Good Book Store and The Barking Frog. It was nice to meet you.

I'll come back soon.

Speaking of... BOOMER!

Spring has been broken...

..wide open...

.sorry..

I've found a beautiful place.  A warm, loving, surrounded by family place.  I've rediscovered the convertability of my car.  I've lost the need for my jacket.  I've begun to despise jeans, unfortunately, I forgot to pack a pair of shorts.

Have you ever been to Texas in the spring?  I'm about to give you a reason.  (March 7, 2007 - 72 degrees - leaving the door open while I'm inside, which won't be for long)  I'm pretty sure I'm going to move down here within the next year.  Why am I still sitting here?
