Lilacs

Three moons have waxed and waned since my last post. And after one more, I'll have celebrated my birthday. This is the first time I'm not terribly excited, but I guess that's a lie because I've been thinking about it for a week and wondering if/how I should celebrate.

There was an earthquake today. As I stood outside my office building in the midday sunshine wondering what would happen in a real emergency, I realized hundreds of thousands of others throughout the country were doing the exact same thing.

I was recently Ireland for two weeks. It was beautiful and wet. Hopefully I'll have pictures soon. I can't even begin to fathom the ancient history on that tiny little island.

I am exhausted but thought I should put some words on a page. Or on a screen. Or in a box. Or on a fox.

I have lilacs on my mind.
