finding it where i can,

You'd be surprised how many people violate this simple principle every day of their lives and try to fit square pegs into round holes, ignoring the clear reality that Things Are As They Are.


So yesterday i had time to kill before i went to a very special dinner with some very special people. I had about an hour. My intent was to go buy some shoes from Puma and maybe a special pick me up from diesel.....but much to my faggoty little dismay i could not find what i wanted.....so i continued walking up to Rittenhouse square, sat for a minute on the concrete and just watched.
in the fountain stood a man with a bubble machine, which quietly streamed out bubbles, peaceful bubbles.
he also had this big assed wand thingy that blew out more huge aggressive bubbles...anyway i was surreal in a way and all was feeling ok. it was then i knew that i had to find just the right book to read this weekend, a meaningful and thought provoking one....so i hauled myself to Branes n Noble. Could not find one, almost got "A prayer for owen meany", and thought better of it, then almost got "the trouble boy", which is a gay book about a 20 something in nyc for the first time, and given my current state, i thought it might not be a good idea (and vapid to boot). anyway it was then that i thought of two books i had at home, The Tao of Pooh and At Swim, Two Boys.
Have read pooh, and find it entirely motivational and deterministic - or not, depending on how theoretical you are.
The other book, have tried to read once, but never made it through. It might be just what the doc ordered.

anyway - two of my most fav quotes, from above and this one...is perhaps my most treasured quote.....tender.

Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind, "Pooh!," he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw.
"I just wanted to be sure of you."
