blogger's block?

i tried to blog like... a [insert big number] amount of times in the last couple days

but,

my brain simply wasn't having it!

i felt entirely lacking in wit and clev

[yes, wit and clev, i said it]

sometimes my fingers just glide across like the keyboard like freakin' kristi yamaguchi on ice

and then other times it's more like that first time you go to the ice rink and have to grip the side rail and inch along, immediately recognizing whether or not you've chosen appropriately thick socks

normally i might have something really good to say about socks

but today,

[and yesterday and perhaps tomorrow, it seems]

i am without interesting words

so,

here's someone else's pretty words to appease your thirst for more garrulous happenings round these parts:

[by hafez, via yes and yes]

This place where you are right now,

God circled on a map for you.

Even after all this time,

the sun never says to the earth,

"You owe me."

Look what happens with a love like that.

It lights the whole sky.

Ever since happiness heard your name,
it has been running through the streets trying to find you.
