It is Thanksgiving.
As I begin writing, it is a quarter to 4. Cincinnati, Ohio.
The window is open to the sounds of the soft rain and occasional passing car,
(open to the sight of a young tree clinging to its last few orange leaves)
Miles Davis’ Sketches of Spain is playing
Weed smoke, cigarette smoke, incense smoke
The cats are quiet
Staring out a windowsill
I am quiet. Doing the exact same thing.
She is outside smoking now
(The one inside earlier, the one by the window, that was the first inside cigarette at the new place. Not bad for a week or more)
But before she went downstairs
And I put on Miles
She was besides me,
(here on this couch, where I am now wrapped up in a pink and blue blanket, in sweats and the same shirt I’ve worn for the last three days)
She was deeply in the zone
of creative flow.
colors, cutouts, collage
everything coming together just so.
And there is much to say about everything
Much to think, and read, and do
Much analysis, Much musings,
Much back and forth everywhere
With worry and the future and doubt
Hell in a handbasket
Destiny postponed
But the right now of it all is pretty wonderful.
This is one of those moments
Where you know you are alive
And where being alive is not so bad.
Now there is a clamor in the kitchen
Smells of food
Miles is sending chills down my spine
My foot is asleep
My lips are chapped.
The candle is burning.
It is 5 past 4.
The world is full of trouble
We find our rest where we can
This is rest.
This is good.
Let us give thanks
amen
