Ode

To all the blog posts in my head...

you were beautiful as i rode the shady lane on the first day the trees were blooming.

you were clever as i walked the rainy streets of Heidelberg and noticed a child - turned into a turtle by his over-sized umbrella - jump. in. every. puddle.

you were ironic when that deep freeze from siberia settled in

you were emotional on that day when everything seemed to go wrong

you were funny on the day that every child seemed to be crying

you were all sorts of things as i walked, biked, traveled, sat, ate, lived these last few months.

i'm sorry i didn't take better care of you. write you down. commit you to memory. tell you to someone other than myself. you really were great but now you have left me with nothing but faint whisperings of what you once were. now i will let you rest. because there is more to discover and more to learn. hopefully i will take better care of those that come. ~love~

I know EXACTLY what you mean! I write the best blog posts when I am in the shower, on a walk, hanging out downtown, etc. And then by the time I reach a computer, the spark is gone. sigh.
I am intrigued to hear more about what you are doing though!
love!
