i say hot cocoa, movie, and a much later night than planned. when i finally sneak to bed - turn off the last lights - i walk to the window that's glowing moon blue with snow. there is a blizzard out there. i smile like a child certain that tomorrow there will be no yellow bus or plastic lunch trays or hallway banter.
i watch the white light fall to the ground laying a blanket of silence. and then i join the masses. tuck myself into bed, eyes closed but smiling from ear to ear, sure that a snow day isn't simply absence from school, but more like someone turned a key and unlocked a door on a day that never existed. until now.
a day from nowhere, a wormhole. perhaps this is what it means to travel into the folds of time...

sounds like a good snow plan. i like how the weather forces us to live within a certain rhythm, whether we want to or not. i guess the weather can be disruptive, but only to our plans. and it is good to have our plans disrupted on occasion.
i'm a bit shocked to have a song written out here. you're much too kind. that song has a real soft spot in my heart.
it seems you've been quite prolific lately. i have a lot of reading to catch up on. keep up the good thinkings.
to be honest it's been more like ramblings lately...but i've discovered that often i need ramblings to get me into the habit of posting. like warming myself up to my old friend z.blog. and if i'm not paying attention i just get more and more honest as posting becomes habit.
i hope that's ok that i posted that song. not sure if you heard my message i left on you vm, but it actually made me tear up when jonathan played it for me. speaks volumes to my heart right now. seems right that it has a soft spot for you - it's a bit too heartfelt not to come from somewhere deep and vulnerable. thanks for being transparent enough to let people like me listen to it.
