good tuesday to you. i'm thinking about a friend who said they feel they have no future. also thinking about the kite flying on the point that was supposed to be about palestine. it felt like a day in the park. i felt palestine inside, but not in the air, not there. maybe others felt it inside and just wanted to let it go and fly a kite. people struggled to get their homemade kites to fly. the butterfly ones from china flew the best and highest. one was so high it disappeared. i know i get caught up in thinking about what is happening and it makes no earthly sense and i just want to fly around with the swallows. my body remembers laying on the edge of a gorge in the shawnee forest and rising up on a thermal wind among the turkey vultures, connected by a filament. but today i have to get up, walk lulu, and go back to the dentist.
